Denmark secured a 2-0 victory over Wales in their UEFA Nations League Group A4 match in Copenhagen, leaving Wales at the bottom of the group with no points or goals after two matches. The win came after a strong performance from the Danish team, who created several opportunities throughout the game.
In the first half, Denmark dominated the field, hitting the post and forcing Wales to focus on defense. Despite some improvement from Wales towards the end of the half, they were unable to find the back of the net.
The breakthrough came in the 53rd minute when a free-kick from Denmark’s Mikkel Damsgaard led to an own goal by Wales defender Ben Davies. Denmark extended their lead in the 66th minute when Gustav Isaksen scored with a deflected shot after Wales failed to clear the ball from their area.
Denmark continued to press for a third goal, while Wales had a late effort disallowed due to a foul by Ethan Ampadu. The result compounded Wales’ struggles following their 1-0 defeat to Portugal in their opening match of the competition.
Wales manager Craig Bellamy admitted that Denmark was the superior side and acknowledged the challenging nature of the defeat. He emphasized the need for his team to improve as they prepare to face Norway next, followed by a rematch against Denmark in Cardiff.
