Denmark’s 2-0 victory over Wales in Copenhagen has left the Welsh team struggling at the bottom of their Nations League Group A4. After two matches, Wales find themselves without a single point or goal, a situation that manager Craig Bellamy acknowledges as difficult.
Throughout the first half, Denmark dominated, creating numerous opportunities and even hitting the post. Wales managed to improve towards the end of the half, yet they were unable to find the net. The breakthrough for Denmark came in the 53rd minute when a free-kick from Mikkel Damsgaard resulted in an own goal by Wales defender Ben Davies. Just over ten minutes later, Gustav Isaksen secured Denmark’s lead with a deflected shot after Wales failed to clear the danger.
Denmark continued to press and had further chances to extend their lead. Wales thought they had scored a late goal, but it was disallowed due to a foul by Ethan Ampadu. This defeat follows Wales’ earlier 1-0 loss to Portugal in their opening match of the tournament.
Manager Craig Bellamy conceded that Denmark was the superior team on the day. Despite the setbacks, he expressed determination to work on the team’s performance as they prepare to face Norway next, followed by a rematch against Denmark in Cardiff. Wales remain focused on turning their campaign around after a challenging start in the Nations League.
