After surprisingly only Denmark got a cross against Hungary in the last group game they were in need of help from Iceland.
Hungary had to lose the match in order for Denmark to have a chance to advance to the main round with a victory against Russia.
But that match became meaningless after Hungary drove over Iceland in the second half, where in the last 30 minutes the team scored 15 goals against Iceland's nine and in the last 15 minutes the island nation managed to score only one goal and could not help Denmark to advance .
