    That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
  • 96'
    FT: Denmark 1-2 Belgium!!! All over in Copenhagen and KDB's introduction in the second half changed the game. T Hazard and KDB's goals saw Belgium book their place in the last 16 after Poulsen had put the hosts ahead. Denmark deserved a draw and had chances to level such as when Braithwaite hit the bar, but they came away empty handed.
