This was the result Princess Mary probably wanted. A 1-1 draw between Denmark and Australia in Samara means both sides can still qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup
The Danes struck early but didn’t threaten much after that. It was mostly an even game so a draw was probably a fair result.
However, Australian fans might wish this game had another half an hour added onto it. The Socceroos seemed on top towards the end could have snatched a valuable winner in the Group C clash.
Sadly, it wasn’t the start Australia were looking for. Christian Eriksen’s strike showed why he is a Barcelona target this European summer.
This was a wake-up call for the Socceroos, and Mile Jedinak and Aaron Mooy kept the Tottenham man quiet for the rest of the game..
The second half saw the game swing further towards the men in green and gold, and Jedinak's penalty, following Yussuf Poulsen's handball, leveled the scores.
Once again, Daniel Arzani showed why he has excited so many people within Australian football.
Who goes through will now hinge on the last group game.
Australia
Mat Ryan 6 – He won’t want to see replays of Eriksen’s goal, the ball appears to go through his hands, but it was hit exceptionally well. His distribution was good and his assured touches really do give Australia an extra outfield player.
Aziz Behich 7.5 – So far he’s been Australia’s best route out of defence in this tournament. He added a great clip to his highlight reel in the second half and he’s been a shining light for Australia so far this tournament.
Mark Milligan 7 – The Danish number nines were initially hard to handle for the Australian centre-backs. Milligan adjusted and came out on top in the end. A solid performance from the veteran.
