Denmark beat Russia 4-1 to book their place in the round of 16
Denmark beat Russia 4-1 to book their place in the round of 16

Denmark thumped Russia 4-1 in their final group game at Euro 2020 — and promptly turned to the LiveScore app to ensure they had qualified for the last 16.

Goals from Mikkel Damsgaard and Yussuf Poulsen put the Danes in firm control of the Group B encounter at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

A 70th-minute penalty from Artem Dzyuba gave the Russians hope of a comeback but Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen restored the two-goal advantage nine minutes later and Joakim Maehle wrapped up the victory in the 82nd minute.

At the time, the players and coaching staff were not certain of the result from the game between Finland and table-topping Belgium, which they knew would play a massive part in their fate.

So they grabbed the nearest smart phone after the final whistle, jumped straight on the LiveScore app and were delighted to see that a Lukas Hradecky own goal and a Romelu Lukaku strike had maintained Belgium's unbeaten record — sending the Danes through as runners-up. 

While Roberto Martinez's Red Devils cruised into the last 16 with three wins from three, Denmark finished level on three points with Finland and Russia. 

But courtesy of tonight's results, the Danes ended up with a superior goal difference to their closest rivals to book their place in the knockout phase. 

And the fact they turned to LiveScore to confirm qualification shows you are definitely in the right place for the latest scores, results, breaking news, previews and match reports throughout Euro 2020. 

On top of all that, there is also former England defender Joleon Lescott's exclusive column to enjoy, plus app users can get stuck into a host of video content each and every day.
