Australia defeated Denmark 1-0 to qualify for the next round!
Australia are through to the last 16 of the World Cup.After a successful Euro 2020, this is disappointing for Denmark. They receive no victories and place last in their division.
Milos Degenek's spectacular block on Jesper Lindstrom and Mat Ryan's save on a Mathias Jensen attempt were just two of Denmark's numerous first-half opportunities to grab the lead but were lost.
Instead, it was Australia, which had never before advanced past the round of 16, that broke the tie on the hour by surprising Leckie with a counterattack.
No other member of the Aussies' Qatar2022 squad has more than nine goals for the national team as of Mathew Leckie's most recent goal, his 14th for the Socceroos. He currently has his first-ever FIFAWorldCup goal to move Australia into second position in Group D!
