Agger downbeat despite Danish win

DENMARK may have got the three points that put their World Cup campaign back on track, but defender Daniel Agger felt that was one of the few positives his side could take from their 2-1 victory over Cameroon.

With both sides having lost their opening Group E games, Denmark and Cameroon each knew they needed to get something out of Saturday’s clash in Pretoria.

It was Cameroon who made the first breakthrough, captain Samuel Eto’o putting his side ahead in the 10th minute following a mistake by Christian Poulsen, but Denmark bounced back to take the victory thanks to goals in either half by Nicklas Bendtner and Dennis Rommedahl.
