Laudrup in front of the penalty area pulled the defense to the left, the former kicked a close shot from the gap in the middle, Pagliuca was disturbed by the vision, only less than 3 centimeters to save Jorgensen's shot, the Danes responded with a long-range shot!

Time ticked and the Italians began to get impatient, the blue team who were determined to make a comeback to win the gold cup looked like they were on the way to the last eight, and the Danish flag was so dazzling at the moment, like a bleak cross noose on medieval scaffolding, with the blood of the Italians drained in the background.

At 42 minutes and 37 seconds into the game, the god-like man who wore No. 15 in the 90 World Cup and missed a penalty as No. 10 in the 94 World Cup final stood up.

At this moment, he was wearing the No. 18 jersey, facing Hurwig's one-on-one defense on the line of the Danish team's penalty area, calmly and cunningly, and the ball clearly hit the arm of the Danish defender under the nose of the referee. The referee from the Netherlands immediately blew the whistle and pointed firmly at the penalty spot with his left arm.
