De Bruyne inspires Belgium to victory
Denmark scored the second-fastest goal in European Championship history but Belgium advanced to the knockout stages after Kevin de Bruyne orchestrated a 2-1 comeback victory in their Group B match on Thursday.
Denmark had the perfect start when midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted the ball to feed an unmarked Yussuf Poulsen, who arrowed a right-footed shot into the bottom corner with 99 seconds on the clock.
Belgium equalised nine minutes into the second from a counter-attack as De Bruyne, who squared the ball for Thorgan Hazard to score with a tap-in.
De Bruyne then broke Danish hearts when he gave Belgium the lead in the 70th minute.
Belgium have a maximum six points while Denmark are bottom of the group.
