Match overview
Denmark produced a stunning 5-0 victory over Yugoslavia in Lyon to secure their place in the semi-finals. The Danes took advantage of an early own goal by Tomislav Ivković before Klaus Berggreen doubled their lead. Frank Arnesen converted a penalty in the second half, and late goals from Preben Elkjær Larsen and substitute John Lauridsen completed the rout.
Trivia
This emphatic victory was Denmark’s biggest win at a major tournament and marked their emergence as a serious force in international football. The five-goal margin equalled the largest victory in European Championship history at the time. Yugoslavia’s heavy defeat effectively ended their hopes of progressing from Group A.
