World Cup Qual. UEFA C 11.47X4.1727.42
SEO Match Summary
Denmark and Scotland played out a goalless draw in World Cup qualifying on 5 September, a result that reflected the hosts' dominance without clinical finishing. Denmark controlled proceedings with 16 shots to Scotland's 11, generating an expected goals figure of 0.94 compared to their visitors' 0.76, yet both sides failed to convert their chances. The home team's 3-4-1-2 formation created more attacking opportunities, registering two shots on target, whilst Scotland's compact 4-2-3-1 setup proved resilient in defence, with goalkeeper Craig Gordon posting a perfect 100 per cent save rate. Scotland's defensive discipline limited Denmark to just two efforts on target despite their territorial advantage, a performance that will frustrate Kasper Hjulmand's side as they seek to build momentum in the qualification campaign. Both teams remain unbeaten, though Denmark's inability to capitalise on superior chances represents a missed opportunity to strengthen their group position.

Goalkeeper Performance

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
