Euro 2020 Round-up: Ukraine Squeeze Through, as Denmark Cause Absolute Mayhem in Copenhagen

23/06/21 3317

Euro 2020 continued with Austria meeting Ukraine as the Netherlands dispatched of North Macedonia in Goran Pandev’s last game for his nation.

Elsewhere, Denmark lit up Copenhagen in stunning fashion, just as Belgium eased to another win.

The Belgian's have been incredible thus far, and after putting Finland to the sword, Roberto Martinez and co. have won all three games, conceded just the one, and scored seven, which has put Romelu Lukaku at the top of the top scorer list once again.

Belgium now face off with the best third-placed team from Group A/D/E/F, which as of now, could be anybody.

Finland's defeat means they are on the brink of elimination and they must now hope other results go their way so they can advance as one of the four best third-placed sides. This result did also mean, however, that Denmark have come back from the shadows to finish second in sensational style.

The Dane's went 1-0 thanks to Mikkel Damsgaard in the first half against Russia, and with Yussuf Poulsen getting his second goal of the tournament later on.

20 minutes later, Andreas Christensen would rocket home his second for his country and his first goal in all competitions since 2017.

Joakim Maehle would make it 4-1 for Denmark minutes later to cancel out Artem Dzyuba penalty in the 70th minute. It was truly a magical day for Denmark, who have witnessed the unspeakable in this tournament, and they now have an enticing clash with Wales in the next round.

Elsewhere, Austria advanced through as the second-placed team in Group C and they will now meet the favourites in the eyes of many, Italy.

The Austrians beat Ukraine with little actually happening in the clash, as just the one shot on target came for Andriy Shevchenko's men, whilst David Alaba and co. only really had Cristoph Baumgartner's opener to shout about as they won 1-0.

The Netherlands continued their perfect start to Euro 2020, as they eased past North Macedonia 3-0.

This now means the Dutch have gone under the radar slightly in moving into the knockout rounds, with Frank de Boer's side the top scorers in the groups ahead of Tuesday's games with eight.

Memphis Depay scored again, but the show was stolen by Georginio Wijnaldum's double, who has now joined Cristiano Ronaldo, Patrick Shick and Lukaku at the top of the goalscoring charts.

The Netherlands will now meet with the third-placed side of Group D/E/F in the knockout rounds.
