Belgium, with the decisive return of its star Kevin De Bruyne, secured its qualification for the knockout stages of the Euro by inflicting a second defeat to Denmark 2 to 1 in front of 25,000 spectators in Copenhagen, on the second day of the group B.

The Danes, deprived of Christian Eriksen after his heart failure, and to whom a tribute was paid in the 10th minute by a round of applause, opened the entry mark by Yussuf Poulsen (2nd).

Belgium, already victorious over Russia (3-0) on Saturday, equalized by Thorgan Hazard (55th), on an assist from De Bruyne, who entered at the break and scorer of the winning goal (70th).
