Knudsen Unused Sub as Denmark Win World Cup Opener Saturday, 16th Jun 2018 20:00 Blues defender Jonas Knudsen was an unused sub as Denmark got their World Cup off to a winning start by beating Peru 1-0 in Saransk. RB Leipzig's Yussuf Poulsen scored the winning goal in the second half, Christian Cueva, who plays his club football for São Paulo in Brazil, having missed a penalty for the Peruvians before the break. Three-times-capped Knudsen, 25, wasn’t expected to start with Udinese's Jens Stryger Larsen having been a regular fixture at left-back. Denmark are second in Group C with France having beaten Australia 2-1 in their game earlier today.
The Danes face the Australians on Thursday afternoon and the French on Tuesday 26th June. Blues keeper Bartosz Bialkowski’s Poland play Senegal in their first Group H match on Tuesday evening.
