When Denmark “woke up”, they comfortably defeated Kazakhstan 3-1 in Copenhagen in the match that completed the seventh matchday of the eighth qualifying group of Euro 2024 and “caught” Slovenia at the top of the standings, with both being +4 behind Finland and Kazakhs three games before the final.
The match
The Danes could not find the corridors towards the goal of the Kazakhs and until the 30th minute they created only two good chances in the opposing goal. After half an hour, the 1992 European champions found space and made it 1-0 in the 36th minute. Eriksen committed a foul, the ball went to Anderson, who headed it back to Wied, who opened the scoring with a spot kick. At 45’+1′, Hoylund made an amazing individual effort and at the right moment he turned the ball inside the area to Skov, who with a nice feint found himself four-four and placed perfectly for 2-0.
Ideal start for the “Vikings” in the second half. In the 48th minute, Eriksen crossed and Skov beat the Kazakhstan defenders to make it 3-0. The Kazakhs answered in the 58th minute, when after a nice individual effort and a turn by Kairov in the area, Vorogovsky with a close-range shot made it 3-1. The pace then dropped, with both teams creating a good chance. Poulsen missed a good chance for 4-1 in the 86′ and Tagibergen another for Kazakhstan in the 90′ ​​without changing anything until the final whistle.
