Denmark pressing but without success

The Danes, forced to win to avoid the playoffs, immediately put pressure on the Belgian defence, which let the storm pass before gradually regaining control of the game. Samuel Mbangula was the first Belgian to try his luck in the eleventh minute, missing the target. Despite this pressure, the Diablotins did not find the breakthrough in the first half.

After the break, Denmark created a big chance from a strike by Conrad Harder, but Lucca Brughmans deflected the ball in the fifty‑sixth minute. The Danes clearly dominated possession, yet failed to produce genuine chances, while Swerts' men mainly looked to play on the counter‑attack. This domination was not enough to breach the Belgian defence.

In the final minutes, Danish pressure intensified, notably with a shot by Noah Fernandez on the goalkeeper in the eighty‑nineth minute. The Belgians did not exploit the spaces left, and in stoppage time, Brughmans again deflected an opponent's ball in the first minute of added time, sealing the draw.
