MOSCOW: The Day 3 of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2018 is here. Victory over Peru in their World Cup opener is critical to Denmark's chances of progressing to the knockout stages and they are treating the Group C match as the most important of their campaign, coach Age Hareide said on Friday.
With France, the firm favourites to progress as group winners, Saturday's match could be decisive for Peru and Denmark in the battle for second place.
Under Norwegian coach Hareide, Denmark have become more direct, preferring to move the ball up the field quickly rather than passing it out from the back as they did under former coach Morten Olsen.
Here are the live updates from the match:
