Euro 2020 Highlights, Wales vs Denmark: Denmark Reach Quarter-finals

FULL TIME! What a stunning game for Denmark after they crush Wales 4-0 to become the first team to make the quarter-finals of Euro 2020. Denmark had scored four against Russia in their final group game and they score four goals for the second match running to make a huge statement. Kasper Dolberg scored a brace while Joakim Maehle and Martin Braithwaite scored a goal each to help Denmark to the big win. Towards the end of the game, Wales' Harry Wilson also saw a contentious straight red card.

90+6' - GOAL! Braithwaite hangs on the shoulder of the last defenders and pokes the ball home after a good cross comes to him from Cornelius. He was flagged offside by the linesman but after a long VAR check, the goal was given.

90' - RED CARD! Harry Wilson is sent off for a mistimed challenge on Denmark's Maehle. VAR upholds the decision even though it looked like Wilson had just tripped Maehle and that wasn't anything cynical.

Wales 0-3 Denmark 

88' - GOAL! Fantastic play from Denmark! Jensen lays the ball for Joakim Maehle, who sends a stinging shot into the near corner. Surely, that means Denmark will make the last 8.

Second Half Kick-off! Denmark lead Wales 1-0 with Kasper Dolberg scoring in the 27th minute.

Wales 0-1 Denmark

Half-time Stats

Wales had seven shots, all of them coming before Denmark's goal. Yet they had just one of them on target while Denmark, who grew into the game, took five shots but three of them on target. More clinical!

HALF TIME! Kasper Dolberg's 27th minute strike is the difference between the two teams after 45 minutes of play in Amsterdam. Wales started the match brilliantly and had a couple of close chances with the goal as well but Denmark grew into the game and scored through Dolberg after some neat team play. After the goal, Wales struggled to even get into the Denmark penalty area while Denmark nearly made it 2-0 towards the end of the half. Wales would need to regroup and come back with zest as a quarter-final spot is on the line here.

Even Start

3' - It's been an even start to the games in Amsterdam. Both Wales and Denmark are trying to get the ball up the pitch but it's been mostly in the midfield so far.

Wales 0-0 Denmark

We are underway at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam as the Euro 2020 Round of 16 kicks off with Wales vs Denmark.

Wales 0-0 Denmark

Gareth Bale, one of the stars of the 2016 campaign, is his country’s all-time leading scorer with 33 goals, but he has not scored in his last 14 internationals and missed a penalty against Turkey in Baku. Can he do it again tonight?
