00:00Unbeaten in 19 competitive games, Spain were taking on Denmark,
00:04needing just a point to secure first place in the group.
00:08And off the woodwork, Spain so close to taking the lead here.
00:14The European champions were without a number of key players,
00:18but following some careless play from the Danes, Spain took advantage.
00:23And back towards Oyarzabal!
00:25It's an excellent goal that puts Spain in front, inside 15 minutes.
00:31Kasper Schmeichel was busy in the early stages,
00:34while at the other end, Denmark failed to register a shot on goal in the opening 45.
00:39And on the follow up, it was Albert Grombach.
00:43Spain haven't lost to the Scandinavian side in 31 years.
00:47And when play got underway in the second,
00:50it didn't take long for their class to be on full display in Copenhagen.
00:54And give it to Ayose Perez!
00:58Wonderful finish and Spain lead 2-0.
01:01What a fabulous goal.
01:03However, it wasn't simply a walk in the park for the Spaniards,
01:07as Gustaf Isiksen came off the bench to make it interesting.
01:11That is a goal! Denmark are back in the game.
01:14Spain offer a gift.
01:16With Denmark almost unwrapping a stunning finish in stoppage time.
01:21So nearly the equalising goal, deep in added time.
01:25As Spain hang on 2-1 the final.
01:28They win the group.
