Live Commentary
Time:90'- Denmark
- Wales
- 93' That's it. A great result for this young Welsh side to come to Brondby and claim a 1-0 victory against the Danes. A thoroughly deserved win and solid performance. Thanks for joining us. Goodnight!
- 92' Sorensen comes up for a corner and causes confusion as the ball comes back off against the up-right.
89' Myhill makes a great save from Vingaard to push a well-struck half-volley round the post.
86' Aaron Ramsey leaves the field of play. No fireworks from him but can only be a job well done if Wales win in Denmark. Owain Tudur-Jones takes his place.- 85' Bendtner has a shot but a brave block by Collins sees the effort fly over.
- 84' The home crowd are jeering and whistling now every time Wales come away with possession.
- 79' There's real urgency being shown by the Danes now. There's some scrappy stuff inside the Welsh box but the danger is cleared eventually.
76' GOAL!!! At last. A nice reverse ball from Bale feeds Bellamy and his shot from 20 yards nestles in the bottom corner.- 75' Denmark are showing sign of sloppiness in their passing too now.
- 72' Good hold up play shown from Sam Vokes but in the end Bale can't keep the ball in at the end of his run. Tiredness is definitely affecting the Welsh youngsters now.
- 69' Nyatanga deflects a goal-bound shot from Jorgensen before Denmark make their 7th change.
- 67' The game is just needing to find some rhythm again after the host of changes that have been made.
- 65' Another in-swinging corner from Bale which is defended well as James Collins was lurking at the far post.
- 64' Gunter makes a long run down the right and forces a corner that Bale will take.
- 60' Toshak makes another change. Vokes comes on for Ched Evans.
- 57' Ramsey and Bale link together in the centre. Bale get's his shot on targhet but it's a comfortable diving save for the Stoke City keeper.
- 55' Evans is released on the left-side of the Denmark box. He's all alone and his only option is to shoot which is straight down the throat of Sorensen.
- 51' Larsen seems determined to make a name for himself. He shoots again from distance. Myhill can only parry it but Andreason dives in and lifts his shot over the bar.
- 49' Substitute Larsen strikes a perfectly hit left-foot shot which flashes just wide of Myhill's goal.
46' The second-half begins.- 45' There goes the half-time whistle. Wales have had by far the better of the chances and started to boss possession too in the last 10 minutes of the first period.
- 44' Again, Bellamy gets to the by-line to cut a cross back but Evans somehow contrives to scoop it up and way over from two yards. The condition of the penalty area is abysmal but really you can't miss from there.
- 39' Bellamy picks out Evans in the box but his left foot strike is blocked by a desperate lunge by Rasmussen. Suddenly the chances come for Wales thick and fast.
- 37' Bellamy has another great chance. He runs in on goal and shoots low to his left but Sorensen blocks with his legs.
- 33' Myhill looked like he was going to be caught out of position for a moment. A lofty ball is aimed towards the back post but he manages to back-track just in time. It all lead from Ramsey being caught in possession in midfield as the Danes close down quickly.
- 30' That's two great chances gone to both sides now but it remains goalless. Wales are inviting pressure at the back at times as their passing lacks speed and incisiveness in that area.
- 26' Myhill has to make his first real save and palms away Nordstrand's shot following good link-up play by Bendtner and Rommedahl.
- 23' Krohn-Delhi has DenmarkÂ’s best chance but pulls his shot wide from 18 yards.
- 21' Evans again is found with a ball over the top but the ball wouldn't come down for him and there's enough defenders to cover as he tries to round Sorensen in goal.
18' Ched Evans has to receieve treatment for a knock to the head following an aerial battle but he's soon back to his feet.- 14' Bellamy will wish he'd have squared the pass to Evans in the box there to make sure of a 1-0 lead.
- 13' Bellamy shows great pace over 40 yards latching on to Bale's through-ball. He out paces the right-back and is one-on-one with the keeper but scuffs his shot after the bobbles in front of him.
- 11' Denmark sensing that Wales are finding a foothold try regain control of possession and are prepared to go all the way back to keeper Sorensen from the half-way line.
- 9' Wales are starting to look very comfortable on the ball now after Denmark started the stronger applying pressure around the Welsh area without creating any clear chances.
- 7' The first real chance goes to Wales. Ched Evans has his shot deflected wide by Rasmussen after a clever dummy by Bellamy.
2' It's a very wet and slippery surface which make it tough conditions for both goalkeepers.
19:15 The game kicks-off with Wales in their away strip of yellow shirts and green shorts. Denmark are in red.- 19:10 Welcome to LIVE text commentary of Denmark v Wales with in-form Arsenal youngster making his first senior start.
