The second day of Euro 2012 started with the shock of the tournament.Holland.0-1 Denmark
The Dutch had numerous chances throughout the match but a mixture of bad finishing and no luck gave the Danes a chance which Krohn-Delih despatched through the keepers legs.Van de Vaart and Huntelaar were thrown in after 70 minutes but couldn't make the difference and Denmark hung on to a famous victory.
The second match in Group B saw a rather dull affair for around 70 minutes when Gomez headed back across the Portuguese keeper and put the Germans one up. Portugal had obviously set themselves up to stop the Germans and would have been more than happy with the draw. After the goal Portugal then decided they needed an equaliser and forced the Germans back with some inventive play. The final 15 minutes was fairly entertaining but Portugal left it too late and the Germans got there campaign off to a winning start.
Germany 1-0 Portugal.
Neither Portugal nor Holland can now afford to lose their second group game or they will be heading home and out of EURO 2012.
Should be interesting in 4 days time. Group C kicks off on Sunday 10th June with Spain v Italy and Republic of Ireland v Croatia. Watch out for the after match analysis soon on my blog.
