Denmark produced a scintillating performance to book a spot in the last 16 of Euro 2020 following a rampant 4-1 victory over Russia in Copenhagen.
Mikkel Damsgaard capped a dominant first half for Kasper Hjulmand’s side by opening the scoring with a brilliant turn and shot on 38 minutes.
Russia had been on the back foot but could have gone ahead against the run of play when a surging, solo run from Aleksandr Golovin was thwarted by a fine save from Kasper Schmeichel.
The Danes then took complete control in the second period and doubled their lead when a blind back pass from Roman Zobnin allowed Yussuf Poulsen to gleefully tuck home.
Artem Dzyuba reduced the arrears with a cool spot kick 20 minutes from time but the Danes were not to be denied.
