    That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
  • 90'
    FT: Czech Rep 1-2 Denmark! All over in Baku and the Danes go through!! Delaney and Dolberg scored Denmark's goal, Delaney's from a corner which shouldn't have been, but the Czechs fought back in the second period. Patrik Schick pulled one back early on in the second half, but despite deserving an equaliser, they failed to get one. I think they were a touch unlucky, to be honest.

  • 84'
    Krmencik is carded for protesting furiously at the ref! He wanted a foul and the ref didn't give it. It was a definite foul from behind in the D. Another poor call by Kuipers. Don't think he's been at his best tonight.
  • 83'
    Boril is down after getting an accidental elbow in the head by a Dane. He's ok though.

    Poulsen!!! He runs towards goal and shots from outside the box, but Vaclik saves!
  • 66'
    The Czechs are caught offside. I think Denmark are more comfortable now.
  • 63'
    Czech Rep sub: Celustka is going off and Soucek has blood from the head. He'll play on with a bandage. Bradec will come on.
  • 62'
    Soucek is in trouble here as Poulsen goes for the shot inside the box as he catches Soucek in the head as he shoots.I think that could have easily been a yellow. Celustka seems to have a muscle problem as well.

Goaaaaaal!
de República Checa en el 49'
  • 49'
    Schick makes it 1-2!!! The Czechs pull one back!! Coufal's ball into the box is volleyed by Schick and he beats Schmeichel! What a start to the second half by the Czechs!
  • 47'
    Schmeichel with another fine save as Barak has a pop from inside the D on the half-volley!
  • 46'
    Krmencik!!! Seconds after coming on, he gets the ball and the shot is saved!
  • 46'
    The Czechs get us going again!
  • 45'
    Czech double sub: Jankto and Krmencik are replaced by Holes and Masopust.
  • 45'
    HT: Czech Rep 0-2 Denmark! Half-time in Baku and the Danes deservedly lead, although I think by one goal would've been fairer. Delaney put Denmark ahead from a wrongly awarded corner. The Czechs then picked up, but Kasper Dolberg made it two just before the break after volleying home Maehle's cross. The Czechs have a tall order. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+2: Maehle has gone to the sideline. I think he will return.
  • 45'
    Maehle is down after a Czech player falls on his leg.
  • 45'
    Two added minutes.
  • 43'
    The Czechs have a mountain to climb now. The Danes have been better, but I think two goals is a bit harsh on the Czechs.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Dinamarca en el 42'
  • 42'
    Dolberg makes it two!!! Maehle puts the ball into the box from this near side and Dolberg volleys in from inside the six! Nothing wrong with this goal.

    Stryger and Boril are down getting treatment after Stryger falls awkwardly and catches Boril on the leg.
  • 38'
    Damsgaard has a shot and it's saved by the GK!!
  • 35'
    Holes has an acrobatic effort and Schmeichel saves!
  • 34'
    Denmark attack and Vaclik comes out to close.
  • 32'
    We are looking again and the Danish goal came from a corner which wasn't. Celustka clears the ball off Dolberg and the ball clearly doesn't touch the Czech man again. Poor call by the officials. It missed Celustka by a distance.
  • 30'
    Sevcik's ball into the box beats everyone and Vestergaard nearly gets there.
  • 27'
    Braithwaite!! The Barca man runs into the box and he hits it wide of the goal from a tight angle!
  • 25'
    The ball finds Soucek at the back stick and he heads wide!

    The Czechs win themselves a corner. They've been the better side in the last five minutes.

    Chance for Delaney!! Stryger crosses for Delaney in the middle and he miscues wide!
  • 15'
    Sevcik! The ball into the box by Barak is won by a teammate and then Sevcik volleys over the goal!
  • 14'
    The Czechs were opened up so easily on the counter there.
  • 13'
    What a chance for Damsgaard!! The Danes clear the corner, Hojbjerg sends a long ball down field to Damsgaard, the GK comes out and he beats him, but his shot is underhit and the defender clears!
  • 12'
    Schick threatens for the Czechs down this near side, he cuts inside and his shot is deflected for a corner.
  • 10'
    Braithwaite is penalised for a foul.
  • 9'
    And another corner.
  • 8'
    The Danes are ripping the Czechs apart so far!! Dolberg gets the ball and his effort hits Kalas and goes for a corner.
  • 6'
    That's really bad defending and that's why you have men on the posts. Would have been easy for the defender.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Dinamarca en el 5'
  • 5'
    The Danes score!!!! Stryger's corner goes into the box and Delaney is completely unmarked!!! He heads to the GK's right and no man on the post means it's a goal!

  • 1'
    The Danes get us going in the white from right to left! The Czechs are in red!
