COPENHAGEN: Finland emerged from the trauma of Christian Eriksen's collapse to beat Denmark 1-0 on Saturday and they will be aiming to build on that result against Russia as they aim for a spot in the knockout stages of Euro 2020.

Finland's defence expects to have to work hard as Russia bid to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat by Belgium. The Danes dominated possession against Finland both before and after Eriksen's collapse but that failed to capitalise on their opportunities, and Kanerva urged his players to be more positive against Russia."We have to do the basics better in the next match, we have to make sure that the passing, all the basic things are on a high level and that the players are ready to control the ball, even in tight position," he said.
