Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this UEFA Euro 2020 Group B match between Russia and Denmark at Parken Stadium, Copenhagen.
After beating Finland 1-0 last time out, Russia are looking to record back-to-back wins at the European Championships for the first time since Euro 2008 when they made it to the semi-finals. A win for Stanislav Cherchesov's side here would definitely send them through to the round of 16, although a draw may be enough.
Denmark's previous game saw their unfortunate Euro 2020 continue as they fell to Belgium for a second consecutive defeat. Kasper Hjulmand's men simply must win here and hope Finland lose to Belgium to have a chance of progressing, but where exactly they'll finish all depends on the final scores.
RUSSIA (3-5-1-1): Matvey Safonov; Igor Diveev, Fedor Kudryashov, Georgi Dzhikiya; Mario Fernandes, Magomed Ozdoev, Roman Zobnin, Aleksandr Golovin, Daler Kuzyaev; Aleksey Miranchuk; Artem Dzyuba (c).
SUBS: Vyacheslav Karavaev, Anton Zabolotny, Alexander Sobolev, Andrey Semenov, Denis Cheryshev, Rifat Zhemaletdinov, Yuri Dyupin, Dimitri Barinov, Maksim Mukhin, Anton Shunin, Roman Evgeniev, Aleksey Ionov.
DENMARK (3-4-3): Kasper Schmeichel; Andreas Christensen, Simon Kjaer (c), Jannik Vestergaard; Daniel Wass, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Thomas Delaney, Joakim Maehle; Martin Braithwaite, Yussuf Poulsen, Mikkel Damsgaard.
SUBS: Zanka, Frederik Ronnow, Andreas Skov Olsen, Jonas, Jonas Wind, Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard, Jens Stryger Larsen, Robert Skov, Kasper Dolberg, Andreas Cornelius, Joachim Andersen.
The players come out on the pitch in Copenhagen and stand for their respective national anthems. Denmark's anthem is sung proudly by the partisan home crowd. No doubt they'll try their best to inspire their team to a win.
Denmark march on to the round of 16 where they'll face Wales for a place in the quarter-finals. After everything that's happened to them in this tournament so far, no doubt plenty of people will be cheering Denmark on. That's all for now. Goodbye!
