Joakim Mæhle Has Channeled His Inner Quaresma To Produce Euro 2020's Greatest Assist
Published
| Last updated
Denmark defender Joakim Mæhle's outrageous outside of the boot cross to set up Kasper Dolberg will go down as Euro 2020's greatest assist.
The Danes took an early lead against the Czech Republic thanks to Thomas Delaney's header inside five minutes.
But the play of the half would come in the 42nd minute when Mæhle received the ball on the left wing.
Naturally a right-sided player, the 24-year-old decided to fizz a cross into the box in the most unorthodox way.
Joakim Maehle, that is outrageous! :scream:
Find us a better assist at Euro 2020 - we'll wait.#CZEDEN ' #ITVFootball ' #Euro2020 pic.twitter.com/pfLQ6PCLjL

He clipped the ball into the Czech box and Dolberg tapped home to double his side's lead.
Mæhle has been a breakout star in this tournament and it's his third goal involvement in three games, after scoring against both Russia and Wales.
Fans have reacted to the cross and they think nothing will be able to top it.
EUROs has already lost Spinazzola, we couldn't afford to lose Maehle the day after.

Atalanta paid just €10million when they signed Joakim Maehle.

After this tournament, he's worth at least 5x that. :flag_dk: pic.twitter.com/Iqvx3HY8El

Major Quaresma vibes.
Denmark are a serious team. BEAUTIFUL assist from Maehle! Brilliant performance from them.

Joakim Mæhle with the best cross I've ever seen.

Kasper Hjulmand's side have been in control for most of the game and have nullified the Czech threat, especially forward Patrik Schick.
Victory for Denmark would set up a massive clash with one of England or Ukraine on Wednesday evening.
It would be Denmark's fourth appearance in the semi-finals of a European Championship.
Do you think there is any way back for the Czech Republic in this game?
