Denmark defeated Wales 1-0 through a second-half penalty from Rasmus Hojlund. The decisive opportunity arose when goalkeeper Danny Ward fouled Gustav Isaksen, allowing the hosts to break the deadlock from the spot. Wales could not find an equaliser and left with a narrow defeat. The match was settled by a penalty goal, rather than an own goal; references to Wales hurting themselves in the analysis describe the consequences of their error figuratively.
