They started the European Championship with a shock and were actually eliminated after two defeats in the first two games. But Denmark fought their way back into the tournament and are now among the top eight teams.
Kasper Dolberg was the hero of the evening. The 23-year-old scored 1-0 (27th minute) and 2-0 (48th) and thus played a major role in the 4-0 success of his Danes over Wales. Denmark, which was actually already knocked out of the tournament with one leg in the course of the preliminary round, is now suddenly among the last eight at this European Championship and can continue to dream of doing the same to their compatriots from 1992 and surprisingly to become European champions.
Joakim Maehle scored the 3-0 on Saturday evening in the 88th minute. Shortly afterwards, the Welshman Harry Wilson, who had just been substituted, saw the red card after a tough entry from behind. A controversial decision by the German referee Daniel Siebert, which ultimately no longer had any influence on the game. The Dane Martin Braithwaite even increased to 4-0 in stoppage time.
In the quarter-finals, the Danes will now face the winner of the Netherlands against the Czech Republic.
Good news from the German team
While the duel between Italy and Austria was still scheduled in London that evening, there was good news from the German camp. Despite persistent knee problems, Thomas Müller reported that he was fit for the classic against England on Tuesday (6 p.m. / ARD and Magenta TV). “We can put that aside. I am convinced that this will not be a problem for Tuesday,” said the 31-year-old at the training camp in Herzogenaurach.
National coach Joachim Löw can probably fall back on his entire squad for the game at Wembley Stadium except for Lukas Klostermann. The Leipziger was still absent from training on Saturday due to a torn muscle fiber. In compliance with the Corona hygiene regulations, the national players gave an autograph session for around 300 mostly young guests after training.
