October 16, (THEWILL) – Denmark and Switzerland played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in their Nations League A Group 4 match on Tuesday. The result left Denmark in second place with seven points, while Switzerland earned their first point of the campaign after three consecutive defeats.
Christian Eriksen proved instrumental for Denmark, creating one goal and scoring another. Switzerland took the lead in the 26th minute when Remo Freuler capitalised on a loose ball in the box. However, Denmark equalised swiftly, with Gustav Isaksen netting from Eriksen’s quick free-kick just over a minute later.
Switzerland regained the advantage before half-time through Zeki Amdouni’s penalty, awarded after Breel Embolo was fouled by Patrick Dorgu. The second half saw Denmark level the score once more, with Eriksen calmly finishing from Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg’s assist in the 69th minute.
Both teams had goals disallowed in the match. Denmark’s early second-half effort was ruled out for offside following a VAR review, while Switzerland had a corner-kick goal nullified due to the ball going out of play before re-entering the field.
In the wider context of the group, Spain topped the standings with 10 points, booking their place in the quarter-finals. Serbia remained in third position with four points following their 3-0 defeat to Spain in a concurrent fixture.
