This is slowly turning into a fairytale after more than a horror beginning.Denmark have not only bounced back despite Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest in the opening game of the EURO 2020 but are determined to go all the way. And no one can deny them hope.This is especially true after today’s powerful performance and a much-deserved 4-0 landslide victory against Gareth Bale’s Wales in the 1/8 finals of the tournament. Kasper Dolberg’s brace was more than sufficient for another stunning win, the second in a row following two maiden defeats.What a strike from Dolberg to put Denmark ahead 1-0 against Wales! pic.twitter.com/O1YcCxojHC— Back Again W/Troopz Podcast (@backagain) June 26, 2021 Moreover, the Danish side looks resurrected, confident and capable of basically anything after Eriksen’s drama finished in a positive outcome, which gave the Dannes an impressive boost. Except for Bale and his solid strike at the early stage, Wales looked depressive and clumsy on the pitch. Their mismanagement provided the opponents with many fine opportunities in the first half, which inevitably led to Dolberg’s opener, sharply executed long-range strike.Dolberg makes it 2-0 to Denmark.

Joachim Maehle and Martin Braithwaite hit the last nails in the Wales coffin in the last seconds of the game.Maehle gets his 2nd goal of the euros and Denmark’s 3rd.

Wales 0-4 Denmark (Braithwaite 90’+6).#EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/fwzlPa9sHD— UEFA EURO 2020 (@EURO2020) June 26, 2021 In an ecstatic atmosphere, the Scandinavians welcomed the final whistle and astonishing success. Now, once they are in the last 8, every sort of miracle and hope of it is legitimate. Their contenders will be the Netherlands or the Czech Republic, which is, in truth, a much easier task than to eliminate France, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Croatia, etc.That’s why the Dannes maybe already see themselves in the 1/2 finals and on the verge of new larger-than-life achievement after 1992 when they were European champion.
