“The atmosphere in Amsterdam was crazy. We have to remain confident and brave. No matter who we run into in the next phase, we are not afraid. We will focus on our game and skills,” Mähle told UEFA.
Coach Kasper Hjulmand’s charges, backed by collapse Christian Eriksen from the collapse before the match, defeated Wales in the third game in a row and claimed their second consecutive tournament. As at the end of the group, they scored four goals against Russia and equaled the second highest victory in the history of the elimination phase of the European Championships. The Welsh, on the other hand, will not defend the semi-final participation from 2016.

“The only thing to say is that it’s a disappointment. We didn’t take the opportunity now. However, we fought and I’m proud of our team,” said Wales Captain Gareth Bale.

The Danes had a significant advantage in the auditorium at the Amsterdam stadium, yet it was their opponent who started the match better. After ten minutes of play, he leaned on Bale’s first dangerous shot, but his attempt narrowly missed the left post.
Coach Hjulmand’s charges looked forward for a while, but still managed to strike at the first serious opportunity. After 27 minutes of play, Dolberg fired a free kick into the net.
???????? Congratulations, Denmark! ????

In addition, the author of the leading goal could have increased the lead of his team a moment later, but this time against his attempt from the immediate vicinity of Ward hit. The Welsh, who were injured by Roberts’ defender before the break, then survived another dangerous shot by Mähle in the first half, which only rippled the side net.
After the break, however, the Danes prevailed for the second time. Two minutes after the start of the second half, Braithwaite’s center, who replaced Williams, unhappily kicked right at Dolberg’s foot, and with the second hit in the match, he directed his team to advance to the quarterfinals. The protest of Bale, who claimed Kjaer’s previous foul on Morrell, did not change anything. The official Twitter account of Euro immediately renamed the lucky shooter “Kasper Goalberg”.
“We wanted to reverse it in the second half, but we collected a second time after the mistake, and that killed our next effort,” Bale admitted. The captain of the “Dragons” could lower the Williams center, but did not direct his head into the goal. He did not succeed in the 15th national team duel in a row.
On the contrary, the Danes continued to threaten fast breaks and in the end they added two more goals. First, he hit Mähle in the 88th minute with a blow under the crossbar, and the frustration of the frustrated Welsh, who finished without the dismissed Wilson, ended Braithwaite in the fourth minute of the set time.
With a 4-0 win, Denmark equaled the second highest victory in the elimination phase of the European Championships: the duels of Belgium and Hungary ended in 2016 with the same result and Spain and Italy four years earlier. The record is held by the Netherlands, which in 2000 outclassed Serbia’s 6: 1 selection.
