Match overview
Denmark and South Africa played out a dramatic 1-1 draw in Toulouse. Nielsen’s early strike was cancelled out by McCarthy’s second-half goal. Phiri’s late red card left South Africa to see out a tense finale on ten men.
Trivia
Lucas Radebe captained South Africa after Neil Tovey’s retirement. Denmark’s two red cards in this fixture remain one of the highest in a single World Cup match.
