The less said about the 2018 FIFA World Cup’s first goalless draw, the better as title contenders France once more failed to convince with their quality as Denmark wanted the point to ensure their progress to the knockout stage.
France had more of the chances in the first half, while Denmark had the better chances in the second session.
