Denmark began their World Cup journey with a draw against Tunisia in a raucous atmosphere at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.
Despite having lots of Premier League regulars, the much-fancied Danes were handed a tough workout in Group D.
Both sides had goals ruled out for offside, while Denmark’s Andreas Cornelius somehow missed from a yard.
There was 95th-minute drama when referee Cesar Ramos checked the pitchside monitor over a potential Denmark penalty for handball, only to stick with his original decision and award a goal-kick.
One of the pre-tournament favourites, Denmark will need to find some form if they are to qualify from a group that also includes World Cup holders France.
