Denmark beat Finland by a narrow 1-0 margin away from home in a thrilling European foreign Group H match that dawned on Monday. Although United's newest star, Herlandt, failed to score in the match, he won praise from his coach for his brilliant performance after coming on as a substitute. The 20-year old striker was praised by fans for his passionate speech after the game, in which he held up a megaphone to inspire his teammates and vowed that Denmark would advance to the European Cup, in what has been described as "Big Brother style".
The Danish team has been unable to find a breakthrough against the rock-solid Finnish team, and although they tried their best in the first half, the key passes were always lacking. It was not until the half-time break that the coach, Mr. Heventer, made a decisive substitution for the recently recovered Herlander. Finally, in the penultimate minute of the game, Hejcaji locked the score to 1-0 with a "kill", and Slovenia tied for first place in the Group H standings. After the game, Hewitt spoke highly of Herrant's contribution: "We could have done better in the first half, but the last pass was not strong enough. My substitution adjustment at halftime made our offensive line more threatening and pressed until the end to finally get the win."
