DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

45+4. If you have just tuned in, Denmark hero Christian Eirksen suddenly fell to the ground in the middle of play earlier on in the game and all the players immediately signaled to the bench for the physio’s.

They are still trying everything they can to resuscitate him.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

45. The physio’s are currently attending to the aid of Christian Eriksen but it’s not looking good.

Every face in the stadium looking on in distraught.

All prayers are going out to him.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

42. Chrisitan Eriksen has just gone down in a heap and it seems very serious.

The players are looking in distress as the physio’s come dashing onto the field.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

40. As we approach the half-time whistle, it’s safe to say that Denmark have controlled a lot of the possession but they have really struggled to break down this resolute Finn side.

Their best bet at the moment is just lofting balls into the box but again even that avenue is currently being blocked off.

It’s been a sturdy first half for Finland, the nation will be proud.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

36. O’Shaughnessy is back on the field but he’s returning with some cotton buds up his nose to stop the blood from leaking.

Good on you lad, it’s all part of the sport.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

33. As the corner came in, Daniel O’Shaughnessy clashed heads with what seems to be his own team-mate Joel Pohjanpalo.

Anthony Taylor has stopped the game and it looks as if the defender will need to leave the field for some treatment.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

32. Christian Eriksen steps over another corner for Denmark.

I’ve lost count on how many corners the Danes have had this half, it must be coming close to a record.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

30. OOOFF he’s going to feel that one in the morning.

Joakim Maehl put in a dangerous cross aiming for his Dane team-mate Poulsen at the back-post which left Hradecky and Uronen both scrambling for the ball.

And they ended up clashing into eachother leaving Uronen coming off worse

TEEM WILL TELL

Just to elaborate on how much of a goal machine Teemu Pukki is, his ten goals means that no Finnish player has scored more in a single qualification campaign than him.

He is yet to make an impact on this game so far but will Pukki make it count if he gets an opportunity?

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

24. Well that was an anti-climax.

O’Shaughnessy hurled his long throw-in into the box but Joel Pohjanpalo committed a foul on Thomas Delaney so Anthony has given a free-kick to Denmark.

DENMARK 0-0 FINLAND

23. This might sound silly but Daniel O’Shaugnessy has a throw in on the right hand side and this is effectively a set-piece for Finland because of how long his throws are.

The box is crowded with blue shirts, Finland seemed to have broken out of their shells.
