Match overview
Denmark struck early through Delaney’s unmarked header, and a slick Maehle cross allowed Dolberg to double the advantage before half-time. Schick’s fifth goal of the tournament revived Czech hopes, yet the Danes’ resolute defending and smart game management secured their first major semi-final appearance since their 1992 triumph.
Trivia
Schick tied Cristiano Ronaldo atop the Euro 2020 scoring chart, the first Czech player to hit five at a single Euros. Denmark’s eleven goals in the competition set a new national record for a major finals, surpassing their ten goals at the 1986 World Cup.
