Match overview
Belgium raced two ahead, yet Arnesen’s penalty before the break sparked a Danish fight-back. Super-sub Brylle equalised and Elkjær’s solo run completed a thrilling turnaround that propelled Denmark toward the semi-finals.
Trivia
Elkjær scored or assisted in every group match; his 84-minute winner was Denmark’s first competitive victory over Belgium since 1928.
