Was the result fair?
In terms of possession, attempts on goal, corners and free-kicks then you would have to say that the result was not fair. However, goals are what count in football and the scoreline shows Denmark made the most of their opportunities.
Holland's performance
The Dutch did everything but score a goal. Their build-up play, with Wesley Sneijder conducting proceedings, was a joy to watch at times. However, the finishing of Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Klaas Jan Huntelaar left a lot to be desired.
Denmark's performance
Chelsea supporters will have enjoyed watching the Danes this evening! Their performance was almost a carbon copy of the one that the Blues put in during the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in May. They showed why they only shipped six goals during qualifying.
Sports Mole's man of the match
Daniel Agger: The Liverpool and Denmark defender didn't miss a trick as the Dutch were left frustrated. His ability in the air all but ruled out any chance Holland had from crosses. Special mentions to his teammate Michael Krohn-Dehli and Holland's Sneijder.
Referee performance
By and large Damir Skomina had a decent game. However, the Slovenian missed a certain penalty in stoppage time when Denmark defender Lars Jacobson handled inside the area.
Biggest gaffe of the game
With just the goalkeeper to beat in the 50th minute, Van Persie preceded to trip over his own feet and fall flat on his face.
What next?
Holland: It is hard to believe that Holland will finish as badly in their remaining games. However, they will not create as many chances against Portugal and Germany. It will be tough for them to qualify now.
Denmark: Who knows after this result?! A point in their remaining two matches (depending on other results) could squeeze them through.
