Another big save! Schmeichel makes another huge stop to deny Mbeumo, as the Frenchman headed at goal from a Toney cross. Replays have showed that it likely would've been disallowed for offside, but the Danish goalkeeper wasn't to know that.

Toney is limping but up, and he manages to get his head to the ball after it was crossed to him in the box. He tries to divert it back across goal for a teammate, but Amartey is there to head it away.

Toney is down in a heap, after Soyuncu clattered into him from behind.

Great save by Schmeichel! Jansson gets on the end of an excellent lofted cross by Ajer, and his header looks to be creeping under the bar and into the back of net. However, Schmeichel is able to leap and tip the ball over to keep it out.
