Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand paid tribute to his players’ team spirit after they beat Russia 4-1 in Copenhagen and moved into the Euro 2020 round of 16.

The Danes went 2-0 up through Mikkel Damsgaard’s stunning 38th-minute strike and a finish just before the hour mark from Yussuf Poulsen, who punished a mistake by Roman Zobnin.
