Time:90'- Denmark
- Norway
90' The final whistle has gone in Denmark and the hosts have run out 2-0 winners over Norway
78' Bendtner intercepts a pass on the half way line and charges forward, with only Eriksen in suppert. The striker hurdles a quite nasty tackle before trying to play in his team mate. The ball’s cut out and Bendtner hits the deck. He’s done a lot of running tonight...- 73' Bendtner looks to get his hat-trick as he rises highest to meet Eriksen’s set-piece from the left. The striker is pulled back by Hangeland though, and can only head over the bar. The referee waves play on, but there was definite contact.
- 56' The visiting side are coming into this game more now. Riise’s deep inside the Denmark half and wriggles his way past a challenge before shooting. The effort takes a deflection into the path of Huseklepp who can only volley over from 8 yards.
- 52' Norway continue to look for a way back into the game and are nearly caught out on the break as Eriksen flies down the right. He reaches the edge of the penalty area before shooting at goal. Jarstein is equal to it though, as he beats it away for a corner. That would have been game over.
- 50' Ruud tricks his way down the wing, turning his man left, then right before crossing. The centre is mishit and nearly catches Sorensen out, but the keeper makes an athletic save to tip the ball over the bar.
- 48' He’s full of confidence, Bendtner. The striker drops deep to collect the ball before turning his man and driving towards the box. He tries to pick out Rommedahl with a through ball but Jarstein is off his line to gather.
44' GOAL FOR DENMARK!! Bendtner’s got his second. The Arsenal man, who will spend this season on loan with Sunderland, collects the ball 30 yards from goal before rifling it into the bottom left-hand corner. Jarstein hadn’t a chance of stopping it!- 42' Denmark attempt a training ground routine from a set-piece 40 yards from goal. Eriksen looks to find Agger on the edge of the penalty area with a drilled ball. The Liverpool defender attempts to volley towards goal but can’t quite wrap his foot around the ball.
- 37' Oops. Jarstein looks to control a backpass from Hogli but allows the ball to roll under his foot in a Peter Enckleman-esque manner. Fortunately for the keeper, the ball rolls out of play for a corner kick.
- 28' Riise slips after making an important interception on the edge of his penalty area which allows Eriksen to steal the ball. The Dane cuts inside and rifles a fierce shot just wide of the right-hand post.
- 24' GOAL FOR DENMARK!! Eriksen finds Jacobsen inside the penalty area with a defence-splitting pass. The overlapping defender reaches the byline before pulling the ball back to Bendtner, who slots the ball into the net from 6 yards.
- 15' CHANCE!! Tettey bursts into the Denmark half and advances down the right before shifting the ball inside into the path of Abdellaoui. The striker’s first touch is excellent as he rounds the last defender but he then fires straight at Sorensen from 12 yards.
- 10' Eriksen looks like he’s being manhandled by Hangeland as the two tussle for the ball on the edge of the Norway penalty area. The referee blows the whistle, but awards the free kick to the Fulham defender. Astonishing.
- 8' Lars Jacobsen overlaps down the right flank and latches onto a through ball as he makes his way into the box. He’s only got the keeper to beat but can only fire it straight at the Norwegian No. 1 from a tough angle.
