Martin Braithwaite, Denmark advance to Euro 2020 semifinal

Denmark’s fantastic voyage continues as the Danes advanced to the Euro 2020 semifinal with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic in Baku to stamp their ticket to Wembley next week.

Martin Braithwaite started and played all 90 minutes, and while he didn’t score the Barcelona striker was certainly impactful as the game developed.

It was a dream start for the Danes when a corner from Stryger found a wide-open Thomas Delaney, who headed home the opener just eight minutes in.

Denmark knew the Czechs didn’t have a very talented team and decided to retreat, defend deep inside their half and counter attack.
