A At the end of the afternoon of this Sunday, Denmark grossed that which was its first victory in this year's edition of the League of Nations by winning Wales by two balls to zero in a game that was valid for the second round of the A4 race. In another afternoon's game, Xavi Hernández achieved his first triumph in command of the Netherlands team.

 

After the departure of the Norway visit, Denmark created the first opportunities after the first quarter of an hour, when Gustav Isaksen's left-hand half-back shot came out near the left pole of the Welsh goal.

Denmark took over the game and put the ball at the bottom of the nets at 24 minutes. Rasmus Hojlund's minced pass to the heart of the area was completed by Isaksen, but after an analysis of the VAR, the attempt was cancelled out of play.

Wales experienced a new scare shortly after a shot by Mikkel Damsgaard at the entrance of the area, which hit the right pole. Before the break, first by Sorba Thomas, and then with a short shot from Connor Roberts that was diverted over the bar by Filip Jorgensen, the Welsh were close to inaugurating the dispute.

The null was already broken at the start of the second part. Following a tensioned free side kick by Mikkel Damsgaard, the experienced Ben Davies ended up putting the ball on his own goal and unlocking the null on top of minute 53. Wales responded almost immediately, when the intersection of Thomas passed by the head of Kieffer Moore and went out close to the right pole.

The calm attempt for the Scandinavians has reached 66 minutes. After a few caveats, Gustav Isaksen eventually won.Rasmus Hojlund still saw a late goal be cancelled out of play, but this did not alter the final outcome of the match, since Denmark won its first victory in this edition of the League of Nations

Victor Froholdt, FC Porto's average holder in Oslo, entered at 87 minutes. Former Sporting Morten Hjulland started alongside Hojbjerg, after the controversy in the middle of the week involving the average two.

Thus, Denmark has matched Norway and Portugal to the condition, with three points, putting pressure on the game that happens tonight. The Danes face Portugal next Thursday in Oslo.

Xavi Hernández smiles in the Netherlands

At the Stadion Rajko Mitić in Serbia, Xavi Hernández added his first triumph in command of the Netherlands team, beating the Serbs by 1-2.

Mexx Meerdink was the great figure of the Dutch side match, with two goals in the match. The AZ Alkmaar advance broke the zero at 30 minutes, charging a major penalty, before bisar at 69 minutes with a nice cross shot, after an assistance from Guus Till. In the middle, former Benfica Luka Jovic still scared (46′), but the three points went to the Dutch.

On the next day, the Netherlands, which follows in the first place in group A2 with four points, is moving to Greece. On the other hand, Serbia, last ranked zero points, travels to Germany, which this Sunday still plays with the Greeks.
