Denmark were only able to pick up a point from their World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria despite playing with an extra man for more than an hour of the Group B encounter in Sofia.
Dimitar Rangelov's early header gave the hosts the lead at the Vasil Levski National Stadium but Nicklas Bendtner got the visitors back on level terms soon after Ivan Bandalovski's 27th-minute red card.
