WAL vs DEN: After a thrilling contest in the group stage matches of the Euro 2020, Wales will lock horns with Denmark in the first match of the Round of 16.
Wales last played their group stage match against table toppers, Italy. Wales were standing strong with four points at the second spot and were hoping for a comfortable qualification. Italian midfielder Matteo Pessina scored the only goal of the night to make it three out of three for Italy.
However, the loss didn’t hurt Wales as the Gareth Bale-led side walked in comfortably into the Round of 16.
Denmark too finished second on the table while claiming their sole victory in their last group stage match against Russia. It was a cakewalk for Denmark as they managed to net four goals courtesy of Yussuf Poulsen, Mikkel Damsgaard, Joakim Mæhle and Chelsea centre-back Andreas Christensen’s efforts.
On the other hand, Russian striker Artem Dzyuba scored a consolation goal off a penalty in the 70th minute. Russia, however, got knocked out of the competition.
