  • 67'
    Ireland have a free-kick from deep and it's flicked towards Clark, but the defender can't react quickly enough to control the ball and the chance goes begging.

    Ireland win a free-kick in the opposition half. Brady crosses from deep and Duffy rises for the header but is adjudged to have fouled the defender.
  • 52'
    Very quiet start to the half with Denmark yet to carve out a chance. You'd expect Martin O'Neill will happy happy with that.
  • 47'
    Unsurprisingly the hosts are dominating the ball early on in the half. All the action in the Ireland half so far.
  • 46'
    Denmark get the ball rolling to get the second half started!
  • 45'
    Both teams are back out on the pitch and the second half is moments away!

  • 22'
    Eriksen creates a pocket of space 25 yards out and goes for goal, but his left-footed effort is straight at Randolph.
  • 20'
    Ireland have a chance to launch it into the box from a deep free-kick, but the set-piece is slightly overhit and it goes out for a goal kick.
  • 12'
    Super double save from Randolph! Larsen is played in down the left with a long ball and tries his luck with a volley from a tight angle but Randolph saves. The rebound falls to Cornelius, but his effort is too central and Randolph keeps hold of the ball.
  • 6'
    Denmark break with Eriksen and the midfielder powers forward but Christie gets a foot in before he can get his long-distance effort away.
  • 5'
    Cornelius tries a first-time backheel for Joergensen, but the striker doesn't read it and goes the wrong way.
  • 4'

  • 2'
    Kvist sends a dangerous ball in to the box from the right, but Ireland clear as Joergensen goes for the header.
  • 1'
    Ireland kick off to get the game underway!
