The Republic of Ireland remain unbeaten in the UEFA EURO 2020 European Qualifiers after a 1-1 draw with Denmark in Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium.
A header from Shane Duffy in the final five-minutes cancelled out Pierre Emile Hojbjerg’s opener ten-minutes earlier.
The draw leaves Ireland on seven points, five ahead of Denmark, but a game more played.
After 20-minutes, Ireland came close to opening the scoring. A free-kick on the left from Conor Hourihane, was met by Shane Duffy at the back post, but the defender was unable to score acrobatically with his back turned to goal,
Both sides started brightly in the second-half with Denmark’s Yussuf Poulsen coming close twice, and James McClean forcing Kasper Schmeichel into a fine save.
The opening goal came 15-minutes from time, when substitute Pierre Emile Hojbjerg scored. The striker’s late run into the box, saw him head the ball into the bottom left corner, beating Darren Randolph.
The visitors silenced the partisan Parken crowd in the final five-minutes when Duffy got on the end of a pinpoint Alan Judge cross to earn a valuable draw.
Ireland return to action on Monday night against Gibraltar in Aviva Stadium.
