Wales suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Denmark in their latest UEFA Nations League fixture, as former Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund secured all three points for the visitors with a single penalty strike.
The result extends a difficult run for Craig Bellamy’s side, who have now lost three of their four matches in the competition. Despite the loss, Wales will look to regroup as the tournament progresses, but the inability to convert chances or hold a clean sheet continues to plague their campaign.
For Denmark, the victory highlights the clinical edge provided by Hojlund, whose pedigree in front of goal made the decisive moment count. The result leaves Wales at a critical juncture in their Nations League standings, needing to find consistency if they hope to salvage momentum from the opening stages of the campaign.
Three losses in four games is alarming. Is it the attack or the defense failing them consistently this campaign?
Hojlund looks sharp in front of goal. That composure from the spot is exactly why Manchester United signed him.
Not another penalty heartbreak for Wales. We need to stop giving them away and start creating our own chances.
