Andreas Christensen Fires In Absolute Rocket As Denmark Qualify For Euro 2020 Last 16

Christensen's strike - which gave the Dane's a crucial 3-1 lead in the second half, just after an Artem Dzyuba penalty had brought Russia game back into the game - was a belter.

The sheer speed of the rising shot left Russia's defence absolutely helpless as it flew through the mass of bodies and into the net.

Mikkel Damsgaard put Denmark 1-0 up in the first half before Yussuf Poulsen capitalised on awful Russian defending to make it 2-0. Dzyuba's penalty made it tight, but Christensen's wallop and a final goal from Joakim Maehle gave the Danes a convincing and cathartic victory.

Russia are out of Euro 2020, as they finished bottom of Group B, while Finland are third on three points but a -2 goal difference. Belgium topped the group with three wins from three after their 2-0 win against the Finns.

But for all Belgium's brilliance, it will be the progress of Denmark that makes the neutrals happy in a result that also qualified England, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Sweden for the last 16.
