#Match Report: France vs Denmark Ends In World Cup’s First 0-0 Draw

Summary

Denmark get the point they need to join France in the last-16 of the World Cup. A poor first half showing was followed by an even more dull second as neither team tried to take charge of the game. It took until the 82nd minute before either goalkeeper was tested, with Schmeichel tipping away Fekir’s curling effort. Mbappe added energy to the French attack but still could not create anything worthy of note. With the likes of Croatia or Argentina potential opponents in the last-16, both sides will have to up their game if they hope to progress any further.
