Soccer World Reacts To Denmark’s Awesome Goal Today

Denmark returned to the pitch this Thursday afternoon for its second match in the group stage. Of course, the team is without star midfielder Christian Eriksen since he’s still recovering in the hospital.

Despite not having Eriksen on the field with them, Denmark came out and attacked Belgium with purpose, scoring a goal in the second minute of play.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg managed to hold off a challenge and fire over a pass to Yussuf Poulsen, who had no trouble getting the ball past Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The crowd at Parken Stadium erupted once they saw Poulsen’s shot go through the back of the net.

Here’s the opening goal from Denmark this afternoon:

During the 10th minute of the match, both sides stopped play so everyone at Parken Stadium can show their appreciation for Eriksen. It was truly a beautiful scene.
