Denmark were held to a nil-all draw by Tunisia in their World Cup opener at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan this morning.

Despite fielding many Premier League regulars, the much-fancied Danes were given a tough workout in Group D.

Christian Eriksen drew a fine save from Aymen Dahmen in the second half.

Both sides had goals ruled out for offside, while Denmark’s Andreas Cornelius somehow missed from a yard.

There was 95th-minute drama when referee Cesar Ramos checked the pitchside monitor over a potential Denmark penalty for handball, only to stick with his original decision.

Denmark Head Coach Kasper Hjulmand says the responsibility was on them, and the plan was not executed well.

“We had a slow start In the first half, and slow play and that’s how the result is. But we have definitely put our noses up for a better result, its hard to stand here after watching us finish the game so we’ll look into that in the next few days , the game was simple but I think we played too nervously an too slow”

Denmarks next match will be against France on Sunday at 4am.

Tunisia will face Australia on Saturday at 10pm and you catch both matches live on FBC Sports HD.
