Bertram Svenningsen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute.

Robertas Pelėda could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 81st minute of the match, but Keld Paulsen made a huge save.

In the 90th minute, Ugnius Bitė hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Chris Nygaard's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Iustinian Ceaușescu read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 96th minute of play. The Denmark manager could be seen shouting at his players as they walked down the tunnel after the match. He was clearly angry that they had squandered their superior possession, allowing Didžiasalis Utd to win.
