The scoring began early for Denmark when Morten Hjulmand turned in a rebound from close range in the 12th minute. Greece responded in the 30th, with Anastasios Bakasetas converting from a set piece that gave their fans renewed hope. But Denmark took control in the second half. Christian Eriksen curled in a stunning free kick in the 58th minute to restore their lead. Then, substitute Rasmus Højlund sealed the result with a composed finish after weaving past his marker in the 79th minute.

With this result, Denmark continues to lead their qualifying group, increasing the pressure on their rivals to respond in upcoming fixtures. Their mix of experience, tactical discipline, and ability to deliver in key moments has been a hallmark of their campaign so far.
