England vs Denmark Highlights

FT: England 0-1 Denmark

74' Denmark make a defensive change. Braithwaite is replaced by the Southampton centre-back Vestergaard.

J. Sancho

M. Mount

73' England make another like-for-like substitution. Sancho is on for Mount.

D. Calvert-Lewin

M. Rashford

72' Calvert-Lewin is on for Rashford. Presumably Calvert-Lewin will play on the left wing.

71' Wass plays the ball off Phillips for a Denmark throw-in. In the meantime, England will make those two substitutions.

70' Walker reads Delaney's cross well and sees it out. Kane buys a foul to get England up the pitch. 

69' England are going to make a double change. Sancho and Calvert-Lewin are warming up.

68' Phillips clatters into Poulsen with an outstretched foot. The referee gives the free-kick and explains his reasoning to a frustrated Southgate, who accepts the decision.

67' Sisto checks inside onto his right foot and floats a ball towards the far post. It's inviting for Wass who runs across Walker and powers a header over the crossbar. Walker got away with that one.

66' What a save by Schmeichel! Phillips swings in the corner and Denmark's keeper protects their lead by tipping away Mount's header at full reach. It's England's best moment of the match so far but it hasn't led to a goal.

65' Pickford booms the ball forward for Rashford, causing Kjaer to backpedal to head it out. Kane's follow-up shot is blocked. England eventually force a corner through Rashford.

64' Maehle's early cross is headed away by James. England relieve the pressure by winning a free-kick deep in their own half.

62' Walker sends the ball all the way across to James on the opposite side. James comes inside onto his left foot and finds the target, prompting a decent save from Schmeichel. England are having their moments. Denmark aren't making the most of their one man advantage.

61' Rice spots an opportunity for Rashford to break through the middle but is too hurried in his execution of the pass. Denmark sweep up.

60' Sisto skins Mount down the left with a burst of pace but can't work the ball into a danger area. Denmark are huffing and puffing.

56' Coady is forced to concede a corner for Denmark. England can't afford to ship another goal. As things stand they're still in this game.

54' Rice seizes possession and Rashford is quick to shoot. It's an ambitious effort from way out that skids just wide of Schmeichel's left-hand post.

52' Denmark are popping the ball around nicely at the moment. England are having to conserve their energy and stay patient.

50' Denmark's high defensive line aren't too worried by England's free-kick. Eriksen looks to find Poulsen on the counter-attack but England manage to get themselves back in time to put a stop to it.

48' Eriksen goes for goal from distance and again fires over. The former Tottenham man looks keen to prove a point here. Shortly after, Phillips is fouled by Delaney.

46' The second half gets started. Denmark's changes hint they'll be looking to play things safe over the next 45 minutes. England can't allow that.

M. Jørgensen

A. Christensen

46' Christensen also goes off for Denmark, perhaps as a precaution given that he has been booked. Jorgensen replaces him.

J. Mæhle

R. Skov

46' Denmark make two changes at half-time. Skov is replaced by the Genk defender Pedersen.

35' GOAL! 1-0 DENMARK! The iceman Eriksen steps up and coolly dispatches the penalty past Pickford. England are now a man down and a goal down. They've got a tough hour ahead of them. 

31' Yellow 2nd/RC Harry Maguire

30' England work possession well down the right but the eventual ball in is over the top of Kane. It's disappointing for England but not as much as what follows...

29' Walker hangs a cross into the box and Maitland-Niles can't get his head on the end of it. England come again. Rice plays a lovely pass to Mount and Mount cuts back to Kane. Kane's first touch is poor though and he can't get the shot off. Denmark clear.

28' England are looking for a bit of a spark at the moment. Rice's pass for Rashford is cut out but Rashford tracks back to win possession for his team. 

27' Eriksen sends a flat inswinging cross into the box and England give it the short shrift it deserves. Both sides are defending well so far.

26' Skov plays a nice one-two to burst down the left and James comes across to trip the Hoffenheim left-back. What can Denmark make of this?

25' England win a corner down their left. Phillips swings it in but Denmark are more than equal to it.

23' Rice spots James in space wide of the box and pings a crossfield ball to him. James' cross is cleared. The full-back is enjoying plenty of space out on the right.

21' Rice gets sucked into giving away a free-kick in midfield. It's OK though as Denmark decide to play it backwards. They won't be tempted into piling men forward this early in the game.

20' Denmark see the corner away. England are starting to perk up though after a tricky opening to the half.

18' Eriksen has a go from distance and gets it horribly wrong. It was worth a try. Up the other end, James' low cross causes Denmark some difficulty and Mount wins England a corner off Delaney.

16' Maitland-Niles passes forward for Rashford. Rashford cuts inside onto his favoured right foot and fires for the bottom left corner. Schmeichel comes across to make the save.

16' Maitland-Niles passes forward for Rashford. Rashford cuts inside onto his favoured right foot and fires for the bottom left corner. Schmeichel comes across to make the save.

14' England are taking some time to settle into this game. Denmark certainly aren't scared of their hosts. Rashford darts down the left and is fouled by Poulsen.

12' Hojbjerg bustles into space down the inside-right and fires a cross into England's box. It's headed out and Skov skies the rebound from 20 yards out.

11' England clear the corner at the second attempt. Still, it's Denmark who are dictating the play early on in this game.

9' Coady's forced to give away the first corner of the game as Poulsen plays a tantalising pass into the box. Eriksen finds Dolberg in the centre of the box but Phillips gets in the way of his effort. It'll be another Denmark corner.

7' Eriksen's free-kick comes in as England hold a high defensive line. The hosts manage to deal with it without Denmark getting a sniff of goal.

H. Maguire

Yellow Card

5' Maguire's booked for an extremely poor challenge on Poulsen. The England defender went in two-footed to win the ball but got nowhere near. He's lucky not to see red for that.

3' England start on the front foot as Kane has a shot blocked from outside the box. Denmark manage to clear their lines.

1' We're underway here in London!
