Denmark 4. Russia 1.
The Danes are through. 4 goals, 3 bangers. Pulling off miracles in red and white like Santa Claus. Everything against them, star player out, backs against the wall. Qualification for the knockout rounds secured. You can’t do nothing but respect it. The first team in European Championship to reach the knockout stages after losing their first two matches. Buried alive and then climbed out unscathed. Scored 4+ goals in a match for the first time since ‘98. Højbjerg with the elimination game masterclass, clocking 2 assists in the process. Mikkel Damsgaard becoming Denmark’s youngest ever goalscorer in a major tournament. Christensen with the longest dagger since Stiletto. 0.02xG has never looked so sweet. Called game, set and match. Dedicated his celly to Eriksen and best know Christian’s looking on proud. The football gods worked overtime this evening. If you don’t like this, you don’t like football. The beautiful game.
