The post-match summary is straightforward. Denmark and Belgium finished level at 0-0, and the match record marks the fixture as ended. With no goal separating the teams, there is no scorer or assist to headline the stats. The main highlight is the clean-sheet draw, a result that leaves both sides level in the qualification meeting.
Belgium's wider tournament story was far more dramatic. The team topped Group G with nine points from three matches and scored nine goals, then came from two goals down to beat Japan 3-2, with Chadli deciding the contest at 49 minutes. Belgium later lost 1-0 to France in the semifinal before beating England for third place.
Alderweireld's second assessment places that run in context: “Foi histórico para a Bélgica. Se você pensar nas equipes que jogaram o melhor futebol naquela Copa, nós estávamos entre elas”. He said Belgium deserved more after the semifinal defeat. That perspective belongs to the 2018 campaign, while Denmark and Belgium's current result remains a goalless qualification draw.
