DENMARK VS AUSTRALIA ( 1 - 1 ) : Live Score
The wait goes on, Australia are now on a run of five games without a win at the World Cup. They will need to end that run against Peru if they are to stand any chance of reaching the last 16.
It was spoken about in the build-up by Australia coach Bert van Marwijk several times, but the Socceroos back four are just not matched height-wise with the Danes. So far the Australians seem quite nervy. So far they haven't managed to maintain the composed tempo of the opening minutes they had against France. They will need to settle into their own rhythm quite quickly.
The Danes wanted to play much more relaxed than in their opening game and this early goal should certainly have settled their nerves.
The Danes wanted to show their creativity today more than they did against Peru and it pays off right from the start as Nicolai Jorgensen finds Eriksen inside the box and the Danish star bangs it home like he has been doing all season for Tottenham Hotspur.
Eriksen has now scored 17 goals in his last 20 appearances for Denmark. It's a run all the more impressive when you consider he scored just six times in first 60 outings for the national team.
ERIKSEN (DENMARK) SCORES!!
Superb finish by Denmark's star man, lashing a first time left-foot shot into the roof of the net from Nicolai Jorgensen's set-up
An open start to the match, with both sides forcing early set piece opportunities.
