On the evening it became clear which European team will play in next year's World Cup. The team that secured victory in Ireland became the Danish national team. The match started very well for the hosts, who were led by defender Shane Duffy with a goal in the first minute. The visitors then took the initiative. The result at the end of the first half became equal thanks to another defender, Andreas Christensen, who scored after a pass from Pione Sisto, and in the 32nd minute, Christian Eriksen gave the Danes the lead. The "Tottenham" star from London later continued his performance by scoring a long-range shot and taking advantage of Stephen Ward's mistake. Finally, Eriksen ended the match with a hat-trick. The final nail in the opponents' coffin was driven by substitute Nicklas Bendtner, who scored from the penalty spot. Result (overall ratio): Ireland 1 - 5 (1 - 5) Denmark [1-0] 6' Shane Duffy [1-1] 29' Andreas Christensen [1-2] 32' Christian Eriksen [1-3] 63' Christian Eriksen [1-4] 74' Christian Eriksen [1-5] 90' Nicklas Bendtner (penalty kick)
