00:00Welcome to Eurosport News. European champions Denmark began the defence of their title last night.
00:06Their first match in Group 2 of the qualifiers away to Macedonia, one of 12 nations making their official debuts.
00:12And the Macedonians off to a dream start in the competition after just four minutes.
00:17Stojkovski with the goal and that certainly surprised the Danes.
00:281-0 then for Macedonia at half-time.
00:31In the second half, Darko Panchev of Inter Milan, however, was sent off for his foul on John Jensen.
00:37That reduced Macedonia to ten men and that gave Denmark a fighting chance in the match.
00:43And indeed, they made the most of it, but they had to wait until just three minutes from time.
00:48The goal from Fleming-Polsen giving Denmark a one-all draw in Skopje last night.
00:54That was the final score. Denmark breathed a sigh of relief.
00:57They scraped the points in Macedonia.
