48' | Belgium are just not closing down Denmark enough. The Danish players are finding these pockets of spaces in the final third to go for shots.
Denmark 1-0 Belgium
Belgium have made a second half change and it's Kevin de Bruyne. How big an impact can the Manchester City man have on the Belgian performance?
Here are the attacking statistics from the first half of Denmark vs Belgium. Denmark has clearly been the more attacking team.
Poulsen's second minute goal is the difference between the two teams after 45 minutes of play. Denmark took the game to Belgium early in the match and showed supreme energy in a match, which has emotional connotations for them. Belgium started keeping the possession towards the second half of that first half, which should make the upcoming 45 minutes interesting.
