Denmark defeated Greece 3–1 in a World Cup qualifier on 10 October, with the hosts capitalising on clinical finishing despite comparable underlying metrics. Greece's 4–2–3–1 setup generated 1.44 expected goals from 15 shots but managed only four on target, whilst Denmark's 4–4–2 formation proved more efficient, converting chances from 1.42 xG into three goals via eight shots on target. Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Hojlund each scored once for the Danes, who dominated the second-half proceedings. Greece's goalkeeper made 75 per cent of saves but conceded 1.0 post-shot expected goals, indicating some wayward finishing from the visitors. Michael Oliver's officiating remained unremarkable throughout. Denmark's superior conversion rate proved decisive in a competitive encounter where both sides created genuine opportunities.
