Isaksen double keeps alive Denmark's World Cup dream
Gustav Isaksen scored twice in two minutes as Denmark powered to a 4-0 win over North Macedonia in their 2026 World Cup European play-off semi-final in Copenhagen on Thursday to earn a place in Tuesday’s Path D decider against either Czech Republic or Ireland.

The Danish team signed a strong 4-0 victory over Northern Macedonia this afternoon in the semifinal of the European repechaje to the FIFA World Cup 2026, which was held at Parken Stadion in Copenhagen.
