Denmark suffered a sensitive 3-2 defeat against Kazakhstan on Sunday in the qualifying series for the European Championship in 2024. Rasmus Højlund seemed to become the big man again with two goals, but the 0-2 lead was given away
Højlund scored in the 21st and 35th minutes and his opening goal was especially beautiful. The twenty-year-old Atalanta striker passed the keeper of Kazakhstan with a watched ball.
Højlund drew attention again with his goals. On Thursday, he had helped Denmark with a hat trick to a 3-1 win over Finland at the start of the European Championship qualification. However, his goals against Kazakhstan were not enough.
About twenty minutes before the end, Baktiyar Zaynutdinov made it 1-2 from a penalty, after which Askhat Tagybergen (a great goal in the 86th minute) and Abat Aimbetow (a striking header in the 89th minute) completed the sensation. Aimbetow was sent off deep into extra time.
In Denmark, two players with an Eredivisie link came into action with substitutes Rasmus Kristensen and Mohamed Daramy. Star player Christian Eriksen was missing due to an injury.
Despite the defeat, there is still little going on for Denmark in group H, in which Slovenia, Northern Ireland and San Marino are the other opponents. The best two go to the European Championship.
