Despite losing the first two matches, after thrashing Russia 4-1 in the last match of the group stages, Denmark goes through to the knockout stages of UEFA Euro 2020.

Denmark, however, beat Russia in style. They took the lead in 38th minute of the game through Damsgaard. Poulsen scored in the 59th minute after which Russia fought back and scored in the 70th minute. However, Danes scored again 9 minutes later and again, three minutes after. Goals by Christensen Mahle sent them through to the knockouts.
