The first goal was an own goal by Denmark’s Simon Poulsen, a few minutes after halftime, which gave Netherlands the much needed edge over Denmark in the match. This was then followed by a goal from Dirk Kuyt in the 85th minute of the match.

Denmark’s Poulsen’s atempt at a header to clear a cross, turned into a disastrous own goal, and a major blunder for Denmark.

Poulsen tried to redeem himself of the earlier own goal, by stopping a goal kicked by Robin Van Persie, but it still did not help Denmark in getting back into the game.
