Denmark secured a 2-0 victory over Wales in Copenhagen, leaving Wales at the bottom of their Nations League Group A4 with no points or goals after two matches. The defeat follows their opening 1-0 loss to Portugal, marking a challenging start to their campaign.
The Danish team dominated the first half, creating several opportunities and hitting the post, although Wales managed to improve slightly towards the end of the half without scoring. Denmark eventually took the lead in the 53rd minute when a free-kick by Mikkel Damsgaard was inadvertently turned into his own net by Welsh defender Ben Davies.
Denmark extended their advantage in the 66th minute when Gustav Isaksen scored with a deflected shot after Wales failed to clear the ball effectively. Despite further chances for Denmark to increase their lead, Wales had a late goal disallowed due to a foul by Ethan Ampadu.
Wales’ manager, Craig Bellamy, acknowledged Denmark’s superiority in the match and highlighted the difficulty of the result. However, he remained optimistic, insisting that his team is committed to improving. Wales will face Norway next in their efforts to recover from the tough start before hosting Denmark again in Cardiff.
