After 15 minutes, the Danes persistently played the opponent in the penalty area, Hejlund made it 2-0 with a shot from close range.

In the second half of the second half, after a handball in the penalty area, a penalty kick was awarded to the goal of the Danish national team, which Bakhtijors Zainutdinov realized in the 73rd minute – 1:2. When five minutes were left before the end of regular time, Ashat Tagibergen scored a tie with an excellent long shot.

It wasn’t enough for Kazakhstan and in the 89th minute, after a cross in the penalty area, Abat Aimbetovs hit his head accurately and snatched the victory for the home team.

In subgroup H, four teams have three points each – Northern Ireland and Slovenia, who played one match, as well as Denmark and Kazakhstan, who played two duels. Finland and San Marino remained without points in their first games.
