Denmark secured a 2-0 victory over Wales in Copenhagen, leaving the Welsh team anchored at the bottom of Nations League Group A4. After two matches, Wales remains without a point or a goal, marking a challenging start to their campaign.
The Danish team dominated the first half, creating multiple scoring opportunities and hitting the post, while Wales struggled to contain their hosts. Despite a slight improvement towards the end of the half, Wales could not capitalize on their chances to shift the momentum.
Denmark’s breakthrough came in the 53rd minute when Mikkel Damsgaard’s free-kick resulted in an own goal by Wales defender Ben Davies. The lead was doubled in the 66th minute as Gustav Isaksen’s shot found the net after taking a deflection, following a failed clearance by the Welsh defense.
Throughout the match, Denmark continued to press for more goals, although Wales did have a late effort ruled out. Ethan Ampadu’s goal was disallowed due to a foul on an opponent, further compounding Wales’ frustrations.
The defeat follows Wales’ previous 1-0 loss to Portugal, adding pressure on manager Craig Bellamy and his squad. Bellamy acknowledged Denmark’s superiority in the match and emphasized the need for his team to improve as they look ahead to upcoming fixtures.
Wales will next face Norway, followed by another encounter with Denmark in Cardiff, as they seek to recover from their difficult start in the Nations League.
