Wales knocked out of Euro 2020 after 4-0 defeat to Denmark

Wales have missed out on a place in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals after a 4-0 defeat to Denmark.

After finishing second to Italy in the group stage, fans had been hoping a team led by talisman Gareth Bale could triumph in the final 16.

But it was not to be, thanks to two goals from Kasper Dolberg, one from Joakim Maehl, and another deep into added time from Martin Braithwaite.

A poor day for Wales was compounded by a late red card for Harry Wilson.

Wales captain Bale said Denmark's second goal should have been ruled out for an apparent foul, but added: "I felt like the ref was maybe being influenced by a lot of [Danish] supporters here but it is what it is. There's no point making excuses now.

"We've missed an opportunity but what we can't fault is the effort the boys showed and that's the minimum requirement for this group and I'm proud of them still."

Denmark now face either the Netherlands or Czech Republic in their quarter-final match on 3 July.

In the 2016 Euro tournament, Wales reached the semi-finals, crashing out following a 2-0 defeat to eventual winners Portugal.
