Last update on. From the section European ChampionshipDenmark's Euro 2020 campaign was emotional and impressive. They reached the semi-finals thanks to a win over the Czech Republic at Baku.Since the heart attack in their first game in which Christian Eriksen, a Danish midfielder, suffered a cardiac arrest, the Danes have been thriving in the tournament.They had hammered Wales in 16 of the last 16. In a competitive last eight tie, they fought back against a physical and dangerous Czech team in an impressive match played in Azerbaijan's scorching heat.They led in the fifth minute when Thomas Delaney managed to evade his marker and head in from a corner.They were a constant threat on the break and made it 2-0 just before the half-time break. Kasper Dolberg scored a brilliant cross from Joakim Mähle to make it 2-0.They lost their momentum in the second period when Patrik Schick coolly scored his fifth goal of tournament. This brought him to level with Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal in the race for Golden Boot.Denmark was able to regroup and get back to work to win the semi-final at Wembley.After they have beaten Ukraine, England will be their opponent.Denmark creates another fairytaleNearly three decades have passed since Denmark stunned the continent with their win at Euro 92. They took advantage of a late call to the finals in order to produce their greatest sporting moment.They are currently working on a new fairytale for the competition.The campaign had just 41 minutes to go when Eriksen fell, before he was given CPR on the pitch. His visibly distressed team-mates were surrounding him and millions of fans worldwide watched in shock.After another outstanding team performance that was a testament to their intelligence and tactical ability, these players are now just 90 minutes away from the final.They played brilliantly in the first half. They were composed at the back, and swift and decisive on the counter-attack. They deserved their lead of two goals and could have had more. Delaney wasted the best of their other opportunities by wasting his chances wide with his knee.They were beaten by a much better Czech team after the break. However, Denmark's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, Jannick Versergaard and the defensive trio Andreas Christensen Simon Kjaer, Jannick Versergaard and Andreas Christensen provided the leadership and stubbornness they needed to win the game.This is the Danes first win over the Czechs in Euros finals. It also marks their revenge for losing to them in the quarter-finals of 2004. Milan Baros' goals were enough to help his country win comfortably 3-0.Baros finished that tournament with five goals. Schick now has the same tally. Schick leaves having done his best with his performances for his country this summer.However, the Danes continue their incredible journey with London as their next destination.Credit must also be given to the approximately 1,000 Danish fans who traveled the 2,000-miles to Baku. They knew that Covid quarantine rules meant they could not attend the semi-final and final should their country win."Christian should have been here"Kasper Hjulmand, Denmark coach, said that Eriksen will be a part of his thoughts as his team tries to win Euro 2020.He said, "I certainly feel it.""The entire world of football realized that the second and subsequent days were fundamental in life and football. The fundamental values of football emerged right then."There are many agendas in football. But we all remember why we started playing football and what values we believe football is built on. We had a great reminder of that."I think of Christian every day. He should have been there.We are glad that he survived. We carried him all the time to the match and to Wembley. He is always in my thoughts."We all knew that football had its values and we were able to be a symbol for them. I couldn't be happier."The team demonstrated it without being told that this is how you should act.""It was amazing to see how this team reacted, how much love and compassion they showed each other and the Danish people."We are happy and proud that we can remind ourselves why football is so important in our lives and what it can do for the world."Dolberg Kasper Dolberg was the player of the match with an average Czech Rep Czech Republic Czech Republic Czech Republic of 7.81Denmark Denmark Czech Republic Average Rating 7.15 Squad Number 5 Player Name Schick Average Rating 5.92 Squad Number 13 Player Name Sevcik Average Rating 5.84 Squad Number 8 Player Name Barak Average Rating 7.42 Squad No 8 Player named Krmencik Average ranking 5.84 Squad no 8 Player number Vydra Average ratings 7.35 Squad numbers 8 Player number Kjaer Average rank 7.42 Squad rating 4 Player number Vestergaard Average rate 6.92 Squad # 17 Player number Stryger Larsen Average scoring rating 6.79 Squad name Andersen Player number 2 Player player name Andersen 6.18 Squad of 24 Player number 25 Player number 26 Squad rating Player number 16 Squad amount 15 Squad name Hesen
