IT'S NOW 4-1

82' GOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!! THIS SHOULD BE IT. MAEHLE SCORES TO MAKE IT 4-1. I can barely keep up. Hojbjerg's runs allows Maehle ato cut in and take the ball to his right foot, who then scores at the near post.

Jun 22, 2021, 02:06:42 IST

GOOOOALL, DENMAKR LEAD 3-1

80' GOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!! THIS IS FIRE CRACKER FROM CHRISTENSEN. HE SENDS IN A ROCKET THROUGH THE RUSSIAN GOAL. After multiple attempts on goal and a couple of saves, the ball rolls through a forest of legs to Christensen outside the box. The defender charges forward and take a first-time crack at goal. He scores

Jun 22, 2021, 02:02:38 IST

Belgium score, lead 1-0

76' OH BOY! More noise and this time, Belgium for sure have scored. Last 15 minutes are going to be exciting. This is great news for Denmark because as of now, they stand second

Jun 22, 2021, 01:57:53 IST

RUSSIA PULL ONE BACK

70' GOOOOALLLLL! RUSSIA MAKE DENMARK PAY. What a penalty from Dzyuba, who lifts the ball over the keeper's legs and slots it in the centre.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:54:16 IST

BELGIUM LEAD FINLAND 1-0

GOAL! There is a loud cheer in the stadium as they hear the news of Romelu Lukaku giving Belgium a 1-0 lead over Finland. This is good news for Denmark.

Change for Russia

62' Sobolev and Zhemaletdinov on for Ozdoev and Miranchuk.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:51:54 IST

Goalscorer off

61' AND HE IS SUBBED OFF! That was Poulsen's last touch. He's off for Dolberg and Larsen is on for Wass.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:47:01 IST

DENMARK SCORE AGAIN

59' GOOOOALLLLLL!! POULSEN SCORES AND HE IS IN TEARS! THIS CITY IS OF STORIES AND DREAMS. Russia with an awful backpass. Zobnin's back pass to the keeper is picked up by Poulsen, who just has to tap it back in.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:44:07 IST

Delaney booked

57' YELLOW CARD FOR DELANEY. A crude challenge on Zobnin, who was through and past Delaney

Jun 22, 2021, 01:42:17 IST

WHAT A CHANCE

54' OH, WHAT A CHANCE! Braithwaite should have scored with a first-time attempt. A diagnol ball from Hojbjerg catches Wass on the run and unlocks Russia's defence. Wass' pull-back cannot be controlled by the incoming Braithwaite, who mistimes the volley after taking a touch.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:39:55 IST

HOJBJERG BACK

52' Hojbjerg comes back in with a bandage around his head

Jun 22, 2021, 01:37:14 IST

OUCH

49' OUCH! Kudryashov goes down and is receiving treatment after a clash of hands with Hojbjerg as they went up for a header.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:34:05 IST

Jun 22, 2021, 01:18:14 IST

45+2' HALFTIME! Group B on the knife's edge as Damsgaards's goal keeps all scenarios alive. This is going to be a fun finish. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE

45+1' One added minute

Jun 22, 2021, 01:10:50 IST

DENMARK SCORE

38' GOOOOOALLLLLLL! DENMARK DRAW FIRST BLOOD AND WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GOAL. Damsgaard receives the ball in the cnetre outside the box, he takes a great first touch that takes the ball half a yard away from Dzhikiya. That amount of space is enough for him to curl and dip the ball into the back of the net. WOW

Jun 22, 2021, 01:05:01 IST

Russia vs Denmark Euro 2020

34' OVER! Golovin finds a it of space right down the centre and he has a crack at goal but the ball sails over goal.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:04:06 IST

TIME WASTING

33' Again, Russia waste time while taking a throw-in and the crowd boos.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:01:52 IST

WHAT A STRIKE!

29' HOJBJERG AND ALMOST SCORES! Wow, that is going to wake everyone up. The game's intensity had dipped a little but it's right back up with this thunderous strike from Hojbjerg, that almost beat Russia's keeper Safonov. From 25 yards out, he lets it fly and even a full stretch dive from Safonov would not have been enough had it been on target.

Jun 22, 2021, 01:00:02 IST

Booking

28' YELLOW! Kudryashov clatters Wass as the pair go up for a header on the halfway line.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:58:41 IST

CONFERENCE CALL ON THE PITCH?

26' Time wasting from Russia. They win a free-kick deep on the right wing and they take ages to deliver it. The referee issues a warning. Eventually, the ball does land inside the Danish box but harmlessly.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:53:44 IST

Finland vs Belgium:

Finland and Belgium are also tied at 8-8 currently. Belgium, who are assured of R16 berth, made 8 change to their playing XI today.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:52:50 IST

Vital touch

21' CORNER FOR RUSSIA. Miranchuk breaks through the centre. He plays it to Zobnin, whose pass is blocked and the balls rolls behind for a corner. But nothing comes off it.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:50:28 IST

SAVE

18' SAVE! Good save from Schmeichel to deny Russia the breakthrough. Golovin darts through the central midfield and beats a few challenges to shoot at goal but Schmeichel saves it with his legs.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:44:52 IST

GOOD PLAY

13' FOUL! Vestergaard brings down Dzyuba in a desperate attempt to win the ball back. The Danes had the ball for about a minute, as they looked to attack from both flanks but some good defending from Russia denied them of any result.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:40:09 IST

BLOCKED

8' CORNER FOR DENMARK. Braithwaite's cross from the right is headed away for a Danish corner by Ozdoyev. But nothing comes off it.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:38:11 IST

UEFA Euro 2020

6' Maehle's cross from the left is cleared with a header from Kuzyaev as Denmark make early forays. Maehle is involved again but he fails to nail this cross.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:36:42 IST

EARLY CONTACT

3' OUCH! The battle between Dzyuba and Kjaer will be an interesting one and it has already begun with the latter taking a massive knock.

Jun 22, 2021, 24:31:10 IST

Kasper Hjulmand:

"No matter what, we shall go out there and try win the match," said Hjulmand. "It is going to be an unbelievably hard match against Russia. We shouldn't force anything. We all know how hard it is to force things, and we should keep a level head and prevent mistakes."

WALES LOOK ON

Gareth Bale and Wales will meet the runners-up of this group

Jun 21, 2021, 23:54:45 IST

RIGHT? SO WHAT'S THE GROUP SITUATION NOW?

Belgium beat Denmark 2-1 in their previous to go atop of the group and even if they draw with Finland, they will top the group.

On the other hand, the real fight is between Finland and Russia as both teams are tied at three points but Russia is second currently due to a better goal difference. So, for Russia to go through, they will need to beat Denmark or if Finland do not beat Belgium.

Finland will go through if they win or if Russia lose to Belgium.

And guess what, Denmark still have a chance to finish second. If both Russia and Finland, they could go second but it will depend on the goal difference.
