Morten Hjulmand's goal for Denmark was the 13th from outside the box this tournament, already more than was scored in the entire group stage at Euro 2020 (12), and more than the entire 2022 World Cup (12 in 64 matches). It was also his first career goal for Denmark, and the longest of the tournament so far (nearly 34 yards).
Christian Eriksen made his 132nd appearance for Denmark, tying Simon Kjaer for the national team record.
