"Denmark struggled to carve out clear-cut chances throughout the second half, though two Premier League players combined for their 72nd-minute equaliser as Joachim Andersen headed Mikkel Damsgaard's free-kick home."
"The shoot-out started dismally for the Danes as Hojlund powered against the crossbar, with Dreyer then being denied by Kovar from their second kick."
Denmark faced Czechia in a crucial World Cup qualification match, ultimately losing 3-1 in a penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw in regulation and extra time. Despite recovering from a goal down twice, Denmark's missed penalties proved costly. Czechia scored first and later regained the lead in extra time, but Denmark equalized again to force penalties. The shoot-out saw Denmark miss three penalties, allowing Czechia to qualify for their first World Cup since 2006, joining Mexico, South Korea, and South Africa in Group A.
