It was to be Daniel Jensen’s evening. In the most exciting and closely fought out World Cup qualifier on Wednesday evening, between Portugal and Denmark, the Werder midfielder made it 3-2 for Denmark in the second minute of added time to seal all three points on an unforgettable night.
Markus Rosenberg and his Swedish team mates are level on points with Denmark in the race to secure a starting place at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Trainer Lars Lagerbäck’s side, for whom Rosenberg came on in place of Zlatan Ibrahhimovic in the 81st minute, recovered from the disappointment of their campaign opener (0-0 in Albania) to beat Hungary 2-1 on Wednesday evening.
The evening was somewhat less memorable for the Green-White’s Austrian duo. Following their stunning 2-1 win in France on Saturday, Martin Harnik, Sebastian Prödl & Co. were brought crashing back to earth by a 0-2 defeat in Lithuania. Both were involved over the full 90 minutes but neither could do anything to prevent Danilevicius’ winning brace (52’/58’).
Lithuania have now closed in on Serbia, who include Dusko Tosic in their squad. On Wednesday evening the Serbs lost momentum after a 1-2 defeat to France in Paris. Brazil’s 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign continues to stutter. After their poor start in qualifying was followed by a splendid run in the first seven games, their midweek clash with Bolivia ended in a less than inspiring 0-0 draw. Diego was in Brazil’s starting eleven and made way for Elano in the 76th minute.
