COPENHAGEN: Denmark's hopes of reaching the 2014 World Cup finals are
all but over after it slumped to a dismal 4-0 home defeat by Armenia
in a qualifier on Tuesday.
"This is the worst evening in my football life," Denmark coach Morten
Olsen said. "It is beyond my understanding that we cannot do better,
but it is my fault 100 per cent."
Armenia striker Yura Movsisyan opened the scoring within 30 seconds of
the kickoff after Denmark's Simon Kjaer accidentally passed the ball
to him. Aras Ozbiliz made it 2-0 in the 19th minute, sending his shot
past goalkeeper Stephan Andersen after a mistake by an increasingly
error-prone Denmark defense.
Movsisyan added Armenia's third goal in the 59th minute, prompting
fans to start leaving the Parken stadium. Armenia almost scored again
in the 71st minute when Movsisyan's effort beat Andersen, only for
William Kvist to make a goalline clearance.
