A well-worked move saw Pierre-Emile Højbjerg test Gunn with a low drive, but the goalkeeper held firm. At the other end, Dykes nearly turned hero when he met Andy Robertson’s cross, only for Schmeichel to deny him with a sharp save.
Denmark’s fans grew restless as their team struggled for fluency, and the substitutes failed to spark a turnaround. Højlund showed flashes of promise but was largely contained by Scotland’s disciplined backline. In the closing stages, a rare Danish surge saw Gunn make another crucial stop, this time from Christian Nørgaard’s header.
Full-time brought contrasting reactions. Scotland’s players saluted their traveling supporters, satisfaction clear after a hard-fought draw. Denmark, however, trudged off to a chorus of jeers—their performance doing little to inspire confidence ahead of tougher challenges.
For Clarke’s side, the result was a positive step in their qualification bid. Denmark, meanwhile, faces questions—not least over whether the absence of Eriksen deprived them of the creativity they so clearly lacked.
