Thrilling game. Attack from the very start till end of the match. These kind of matches makes fans, more than super star players for the beautiful game. Czech republic played really well but it was Denmark who created and found target more to move ahead in the tournament. Schick reached 5 goals alongside Ronaldo in the top scorer race, with all top scorers officially out of tournament now (Ronaldo, Schick, Forsberg, Lukaku, Benzema). 

Denmark will play against winners of match England vs Ukraine at Wembley, on 08 July. The current world 10th team looks unstoppable at the moment, after their first match defeat following unfortunate situations related to Eriksen. 

Match started with Czech Republic paying tribute to Eriksen by giving Czech jersey with Eriksen's name on it. But, Denmark didnt show any mercy on pitch as they took lead in the 5th minute from corner. Larsen's kick was a bit deep, where Delaney was standing unmarked. His placing header to ground found back of net. It looked like they are continuing from where they stopped against Wales win. They kept on attacking and were looking confident. 

Delaney almost scored second in 16th minute, but his shot went wide this time. On the other side, Soucek missed 2 chances from corner, one he would think over time, where the post was and where he aimed to. 

Holes got a chance but Shmeichel closed down fast and saved shot conceding a corner. 

In 42 minute, Denmark doubled their lead, when Dolberg tapped in a wonderful juicy outside foot cross by Maehle from left wing, came right infront of goal, when goal keeper Vlasic was standing in desperate nothing to do situation. 

After half time break, Czech looked more positive , energetic and that resulted in goal. Schick smartly turned Coufal's cross towards goal with a half volley to ground, which deceived Shmeichel. 

They continued to attack. Denmark brought Poulsen in and he got chances , hit on target, but saved by Vlasic. 

Maehle also got a chance to score when Poulsen gave a defense splitting ball for him but Vlasic came close and closed him down to deny a goal. 

Delaney was awarded Star of the match award.
