Coach Kasper Hjulmand praised his two-goal star but every Danish player contributed to a fast, fluid flattening of Wales
As the songs of jubilant Denmark fans’ faded into the night, two Kaspers were still giving flash interviews pitchside about the 4-0 crushing of Wales at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
They were Hjulmand, the classy coach, and Schmeichel, the warrior-goalkeeper. Yet the victory in Amsterdam was also the tale of a third Kasper – Dolberg whose two-goal performance of a lifetime capped a masterful team display that showed how pace, cohesion, strategy and momentum are enhancing the spirit fuelled by the desire to claim Euro 2020 for the recovering Christian Eriksen.
