Attendance14,645
Kick-off: 6.00pm local (5.00pm BST) Attendance limited due to COVID-19 restrictions. Assistant referees: Jan Seidel (GER) and Rafael Foltyn (GER) Fourth official: Ovidiu Haţegan (ROU) Video Assistant Referee: Bastian Dankert (GER) This was match no. 38 of the pan-Europe Euro 2020 tournament. Denmark had now won seven of the 11 meetings with Wales, including four of the last five since 1998. Opposing goalkeepers (Danny Ward and Kasper Schmeichel) had now been teammates at Leicester City since 2018. It was believed to be the first international game that goalkeepers from the same club faced each other since 27 March 2018 when Manchester United’s David De Gea and Sergio Romero played for Spain and Argentina, respectively. Spain won the friendly match in Madrid 6-1. [c/o Adam Cavanagh]

Comments:

Wales failed in their attempt to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA European Championship for a second time; previously in 1976 when they lost 3-1 over two legs against Yugoslavia. They had now lost consecutive games for the first time since June 2019. Wales had now failed to score in four of their last six games.

Comments:

Denmark had now reached the last eight in a UEFA European Championship for the first time since 2004. Following their 4-1 win against Russia, Denmark became the first team to score four or more goals in consecutive games at UEFA European Championship finals. Former Ajax forward Kasper Dolberg scored 45 goals in 119 appearances for the Johan Cruyff ArenA based club from 2016 to 2019.
