Nordstrand on song in Denmark stroll

Denmark kept alive their hopes of reaching UEFA EURO 2008™ as Morten Nordstrand scored twice in a convincing home victory over Liechtenstein.

Early strike
Martin Laursen and Jon Dahl Tomasson were also on target, all in the first half, as Denmark matched the 4-0 scoreline they had achieved in Vaduz eleven months before. Nordstrand opened the scoring in Aarhus within three minutes with a right-footed shot into the bottom-left corner following a Dennis Rommedahl cross.

Telling crosses
Laursen promptly made it 2-0 to Morten Olsen's side nine minutes later when he slotted home from close range following Niclas Jensen's inswinging corner. Tomasson did not have to wait long to get his name on the scoresheet, being presented with an opportunity from Rommedahl's cross and making no mistake from the left side of the six-metre box.

Tomasson provides
Leon Andreasen hit the bar from 20 metres and Jesper Grønkjær was denied by keeper Peter Jehle before goal No4 arrived, Nordstrand firing a left-footed strike into the bottom corner following Tomasson's pass. Liechtenstein did their best to get back into the game early in the second half, Mario Frick prompting a good parry from Thomas Sørensen, before Denmark's Rommedahl forged two decent opportunities for himself, first driving over from 20 metres then rattling an upright.

Hat-trick spurned
Esben Hansen kept Jehle involved with a long-range effort which required a save as the Danes continued to dominate without adding to the scoreline. Nordstrand had half a chance to complete his hat-trick ten minutes from time, only to flash an attempt wide from 12 metres. By then the match had long since ended as a contest.

UEFA Nations league Serbia 2-0 Switzerland - Highlights and news 13.10.2024

 Serbia drove through Nico Elvedi's own objective in first-half stoppage time and Aleksandar Mitrovic multiplied the benefit before Predrag Rajkovic saved a punishment from Swiss striker Breel Embolo. Serbia took a giant stride towards survival in the UEFA Nations League top-flight by securing a 2-0 victory over near rivals Switzerland - their first-ever head-to-head win. With  Serbia  and  Switzerland  essentially competing against each other to avoid relegation from Group A4, you’d have been forgiven for expecting a brighter start from two sides desperate to beat the other. It turned out to be quite the opposite though, as the only bright spot in an incredibly dull start came when  Veljko Birmancevic ’s tame effort was easily gathered by  Gregor Kobel . It took until just after the half-hour mark for the game's first big chance to arrive, but it was wasted by  Breel Embolo  who skewed wide after he was teed up by  Silvan Widmer . That ...

One and only...Michael Laudrup... 09.28.2024 news and highlights

 Michael Laudrup, a former Danish national team player and player for Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid, refused to go to the European Football Championship in 1992 in protest at the expulsion of Yugoslavia, which was better in the qualifiers. Namely, Yugoslavia was first in the qualification group, and Denmark was second. He said then that neither he nor his national team deserved to replace a better team, the one that won it on the field, the country still called Yugoslavia at the time. To make the irony even greater, the Danes then won the championship by defeating Germany. When asked if he regrets not being part of the team that won the European Championship, he only briefly stated: "Senseless question, a great injustice was done to Yugoslavia."
