Russia have come out and tried to camp in the Denmark half. Already they are showing much more intent than in the first period.

Excellent defending at the back for Russia as Denmark finally get in-behind. The Danes raid down both flanks and send in testing deliveries, particularly through Maehle on the left, but no-one can get on the end of them.
34'
Golovin arrives on cue to tee up Dzyuba's knock down but ends up slamming it way over the crossbar from 25 yards out. He turns away in disgust. Not one of his finest attempts!

CLOSE! Højbjerg lets fly with a superb 25-yard drive that flashes just past the post.
28'
Kudryashov booked for what could only be called an aerial body-check on Wass as the Denmark man rose to flick a header on in the midfield.

STAT: Russia are bidding to win back-to-back games at the European Championship for the first time since they won three on the spin at Euro 2008.

VIDEO: Golovin goes close.

Agree with this.
20'
Dzyuba spins off his marker, turns neatly but rifles off target. That's much better from Russia. They've been passive for a large chunk of this opening spell but have now had two incisive attacks. The Danes have been on the front foot but have failed to trouble Safonov.
18'
Golovin suddenly bursts into life for Russia. He surges through the midfield and drifts beyond a challenge before hitting a 15-yard shot that Schmeichel blocks with his legs.
