This is a completely deserved result for coach Kasper Hjulmand and his team after what they showed in Baku.

Entering this match, Denmark took the initiative to attack right after the opening whistle and it only took them 5 minutes to break the balance.

In the 5th minute, from a corner kick, Jens Stryger Larsen made an accurate pass for Thomas Delaney to comfortably head the ball into the far corner, past goalkeeper Vaclik, opening the scoring.

With an early goal, Denmark proactively played solidly in their home field, before organizing quick situations and creating danger towards the Czech Republic's goal.

In the 42nd minute, from a very quick attack on the left wing, Joakim Maehle made a classy flick with the outside of his foot, allowing Kasper Dolberg to run in and cushion the ball into the empty net, doubling the gap for Denmark.

In the second half, coach Jaroslav Silhavy made two consecutive substitutions, helping the Czech Republic create great pressure on Denmark's goal before scoring a goal to shorten the score to 1-2.

In the 49th minute, Coufal had a favorable pass for Patrik Schick to finish with a tricky one-touch shot to score for the Czech Republic team.

This is Patrik Schick's 5th goal at EURO 2020, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo's record.

However, this was also the last number that this striker could reach because he later had to leave the field due to injury, and his teammates could not score another goal against Denmark.

Losing 1-2 on aggregate, the Czech Republic had to stop at EURO 2020, but reaching the quarter-finals can be considered a success for them.

As for Denmark, after this victory, they will continue to practice to prepare for the important semi-final match with England at Wembley Stadium on July 8.
