Denmark 0, France 0: Danish draw goes into 2nd place (VIDEO)

France was already in the knockout phase of the World Cup, and with Peru taking care of Australia, Denmark seemed to be content to accept its 16th place as vice-champion of group.

The two European teams played in the first 0-0 draw of the 2018 World Cup, with neither team really gaining momentum and wishing to leave Group C. Peru 's 2-0 win over Brazil. Australia meant that Denmark no longer needed to do anything to secure his knockout spot, and instead of really pushing France to win the group – which he could have achieved with a win – he played the string.

Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe and Hugo Lloris, among others, have turned to the depths of France to see the group. He came out with the bulk of the possession, showing that there is not a lot of falling. Denmark however found its place a few minutes after being sent off a penalty shot and getting a corner in the seventh minute.

The first opportunity for France arrives at the mark of quarter-time, when Olivier Giroud drops a ball in the center of the surface. He had to react quickly to shoot him on a frame, which he did, only for a jumping Kasper Schmeichel to knock him out for a corner.

Denmark claimed a penalty in the 30th minute thanks to a rare lead from the Danes. Andreas Cornelius played a pretty early left in the space, which Christian Eriksen sought to meet in the box. French goalkeeper Steve Mandanda came out of his line and hit the Tottenham star to deny the chance, while getting the ball, and no penalty call was issued, nor VAR for a criticism that would have could lead to a kick. The news is not so bad for Denmark, since in the other match of the group, Andre Carrillo scored for Peru, placing Australia in a 1-0 hole and increasing the margin. mistake from Denmark.

France again tested Schmeichel in the 39th minute, when Antoine Griezmann tied for 20 yards on a left-hand frame, but he did not bother the Leicester City goalkeeper much.

As the two teams continued to move closer to the second half, Denmark experienced another positive result in the other match, in which Paolo Guerrero scored to double Peru 's lead over the second half. ;Australia. With the Socceroos having to reverse this deficit in a short time, Denmark's chances of progress have become even safer.

Denmark almost took the lead in the match – and the group – a few minutes after Peru's help, and that is Eriksen who took a free 25-yard shot at goal. Mandanda reversed the rebound, but he recovered before any Danes could jump on the occasion.

Eriksen made another remote try in the 59th minute, with a ball dropped on the edge of the box for a quick recovery. He, however, hung the goal of Mandanda, keeping the score at 0-0.

Nabil Fekir came into play for France and tried to breathe some life into the match, which he nearly did in the 70th minute when he scored for the goal, only to put his luck in the net.
