Here's a look at the 1 important thing that went right for the Danish:
#1 Defensive Solidarity Rescues Denmark
Following Mile Jedinak's equalizer, Australia became more threatening in the final third of the pitch in their quest to extend the lead. This resulted in the Denmark defence becoming very busy in the second half and they stepped up to the occasion.
The back four was very organized as Andreas Christensen and captain Simon Kjaer excelled in their leadership. The central defensive pairing were more than ready to put their body on the line for last-ditch challenges and combined for 12 total clearances.
Full-backs Henrik Dalsgaard and Jens Stryger Larsen were very efficient in running back and helping out in defence. The duo showed their in-air capabilities as they won a total of six aerial duels and similarly, combined for seven successful tackles.
However, the hero proved to be Kasper Schmeichel, who was on the receiving end of an Australian onslaught in the final 15 minutes. The Leicester goalkeeper made a total of six saves in the game but denied Daniel Arzani and Mathew Leckie in the latter stages to ensure that the Danish came away with a point.
