Belgium, who lost to England three days ago, went ahead early in the match. In the third minute, when Denmark failed to clear the ball outside their own D-box, Tielemans found the address with a low shot.
The visitors did not hesitate to respond. In the seventeenth minute, Barcelona's Martin Brathwaite shot from the right side of the box into the D-box and the ball bounced off one of the opponents' legs and went high towards the wind. This young forward jumps and draws the head.
Denmark became confident after scoring a goal and made some good attacks in the next few minutes. Brathwaite's shot was blocked by Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 24th minute. Six minutes later, Lukaku came out a short distance from the head post and Denmark also survived.
