Football: Denmark roll into quarter-finals with 4-0 win

Kasper Dolberg's double against Wales helped propel Denmark into the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 AFP/Olaf KraakPARIS: Denmark eased into the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 on Saturday with a 4-0 win over Wales, while Italy could break an 82-year national record when they take on Austria at Wembley.

It is exactly 29 years since Denmark defeated Germany in the final in Gothenburg having famously only qualified because war-torn Yugoslavia disintegrated. Maehle, who scored in the crucial 4-1 win over Russia which took the Danes to the knockouts, added a third goal for Denmark two minutes from time with a thumping finish before Harry Wilson was sent off for a lazy challenge on the Atalanta player.

Roberto Mancini, who took over after Italy's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, has rebuilt the Azzurri into contenders, overseeing a 30-match unbeaten run to equal the mark set under two-time World Cup-winning coach Vittorio Pozzo in the 1930s.
