This is only the second time that Saudi Arabia has qualified for the World Cup Finals. It is also Denmark's second appearance. They last appeared in 1986.

00:00Captain Michael Laudrup, winning his 100th cap in his last tournament before he retires from football.
00:05Peter Schmeichel was making his 101st international appearance.
00:09Saudi Arabia included Saeed Awairan, who scored the goal of the tournament when they beat Belgium at the last World
00:15Cup.
00:16Commentary from Lawns comes from Trevor Brooking and Barry Davis.
00:26Celtic man to take.
00:31Not down here, San.
00:33Well, he had to stretch for it and he got underneath it.
00:39First real opportunity behind the defender.
00:45But over the top.
00:55Oh, it's a good strike by Wieghorst.
00:58But unfortunately for Denmark, not an accurate one.
01:03Sean Beer, the left back it was who came up, won the first header.
01:07Just dropping on the edge of the penalty area, getting underneath it, just leaning back.
01:16Brian Laudrup worked out well, and here's Jonsson.
01:22That was a very poor finish.
01:28Orchestration off the pitch, but not that much on it.
01:42Michael Laudrup went in, in the end.
01:51If they get decent deliveries, they are winning everything.
01:55And it's important the second header, once Riefer has touched it on.
01:58And then it's Laudrup who comes in, Michael this time.
02:01And it's again Riefer who just tries the toe-ender.
02:04Goalkeeper decided to go with his feet, rather than risk injury with his head or hands.
02:13Johnson, over here, isn't that very comfortable.
02:26Sullivan.
02:29Al-Jabir, got a hold of that.
02:32And he got a free kick for that.
02:36First time he's been in the match, really.
02:38Struck it well.
02:40But it was blocked very quickly.
02:50Oh, that's a good save.
02:52Fine shot by Al-Auweran.
02:57Nice to set up, came round the wall, came round Helbe.
03:00He may well have crept outside anyway, but not for Peter Schmeichel to leave that to question.
03:18Amin, Al-Auweran, Robert, Amin.
03:26Too long, but it's very well claimed.
03:51San, oh, good strike.
03:55Two around him.
03:58Good blow of the left leg.
04:01Straight out, Al-Dahir.
04:09Ryan Laudrup.
04:17Well, we keep it in.
04:19Michael.
04:20Big horse.
04:22San.
04:24Michael Laudrup.
04:28Johnson shot that was blocked.
04:38Al-Auweran.
04:42Well, it's still a well.
04:45It's useful.
04:47And Al-Auweran waits in the middle.
04:54And Amin gets it wrong.
04:56We need to get it right.
04:57Might get a second chance, but doesn't.
05:03There's a worried expression, then, from Michael Laudrup, and also from Peter Schmeichel.
05:11And Joubert.
05:17They haven't had many attacks, but the comparison may be that theirs had looked slightly better.
05:25A few that they've had collectively between players that we've seen from Denmark.
05:30The number four day in Buellet, it was a great individual skill, didn't he?
05:34He twisted in turn, went past two or three players, released Al-Jabert, crossed, and Amin just saw glory with
05:39a blasted volley, and missed it being most capable.
05:47And it is about time that they made one of these count.
05:52So, Peter Schmeichel's reaction.
05:58And there, yeah, it's a good punch.
06:01Kohling tries to put it back.
06:03Wilson not offside, amazingly.
06:06Must be, and is, Mark Rieper.
06:22Peter Schmeichel smiles this time.
06:25And you read the second goal for his country.
06:29That's the decision.
06:31It wasn't an offside there.
06:32It should have been, but that was because the Saudis went to sleep.
06:37Jonsson set it up.
06:38And it was so easy for Mark Rieper.
06:50It's not free-kick.
06:55That's fine.
07:00The wall is back far enough.
07:02It's left.
07:03And that's a good save.
07:08Schoenberg struck it well.
07:13It's a good save.
07:14It's skidding along the surface and down the air to a stretch fully there,
07:18but just as well as it didn't go too far away from the keeper.
07:21And the follow-up man could have got it.
07:31Kohling.
07:32San.
07:42That's a Super Bowl show.
07:45Nielsen is wide.
07:49Michael Laudrup's pass.
07:53I haven't seen too many defence-fitting passes,
07:56but that was certainly one.
07:57And he just didn't really hit the ball cleanly.
08:00But I think...
08:02No!
08:02That's the fourth one out.
08:02You won't come
08:03You can see the WHAT you need...
08:03What you wanted...
08:03That...
