There was a lot riding on Denmark's World Cup Qualifier trip to
lowly Armenia on Tuesday night. Not only were De Rød-Hvide looking
to secure the play-off place in UEFA Group B, but they were keen to
avenge the humiliating 4-0 home loss they suffered in the reverse
fixture last June.
Manager Martin Olsen got preparations off to a controversial start,
after he was forced to apologize for comparing the aforementioned
loss to the tragedies of 9/11. On reflection, he conceded that it
wasn't an incredibly sensitive thing to say the day before the 12th
anniversary of the attacks.
Gauche comments aside, the Danes were able to secure a vital 1-0 win in
Yerevan. This win came in part because of Daniel Agger's 73rd-minute
goal, but also in part because of the corner-taking prowess of
Spartak Moscow's Aras Ozbiliz. The poor fellow appears to kick the
flag instead of the ball and it all goes horribly wrong from there.
Ozbiliz's woeful dead ball attempt should have ended in a free kick
to the Danes for handball, but the officials must have either felt
sympathy or that the flag had committed a foul, as he was awarded a
do-over instead.
