DENMARK v SENEGAL MIN-BY-MIN
By Reece Killworth
Final score: Denmark 1 Senegal 1
Man of the match: Khalilou Fadiga. The inspiration for Senegal's fightback with his strong running down the left. Always a danger from set pieces and sent through a lovely ball for Diao to equalise.
90 min: That's it. Both sides have to settle for a point. That means if France lose to Uruguay they are out of the tournament.
90 min: Heintze shows there is no substitute for experience as he halts Henri Camara down the Senegal right.
88 min: Denmark bring Rangers' Peter Lovenkrands on for Rommedahl.
87 min: Poulsen gets the ball behind Daff to Rommedahl, but his cross sails out for a goal-kick.
86 min: Fadiga trots from right to left to take the corner but his flag-kick is straight into Sorensen's arms.
86 min: Fadiga's corner is headed clear by Laursen with Bouba Diop in close attendance.
85 min: Diouf beats Henriksen down the right and forces a corner off Heintze.
83 min: Poulsen goes into the book after clashing with Bouba Diop in midfield. That looks to be a harsh decision.
82 min: Senegal bring Habib Beye on for half-time substitute Souleymane Camara as they look to shore things up at the back.
82 min: Helveg goes into the book for a late tackle out wide on Souleymane Camara.
82 min: As expected, Henriksen returns to the fray. Denmark build down the left but Jorgensen's cross in is over the men waiting in the middle.
81 min: Henriksen has had his leg strapped up and looks fit to continue.
79 min: Diao goes in high and late on Henriksen and is immediately sent off by the referee. He shows his frustration by kicking a water bottle on the touchline, but he can have no complaints.
78 min: Fadiga's curling free-kick from the left is headed wide by Diatta.
77 min: Jorgensen's ball in is cleared by Diatta to Poulsen. His shot from distance is blocked and as the ball bobbles around the area Diao hacks clear.
76 min: Diatta concedes a corner as Denmark keep pressing.
75 min: Sand can only direct Tofting's header straight into the air and is then pulled up for blocking Sylva.
74 min: Coly tackles back well to concede a corner down the Denmark left.
72 min: Senegal force two corners in quick succession. The second sees Diatta head wide from 12 yards out.
71 min: Henri Camara does well to get a cross in down the right as the ball looks to be sailing out. Unfortunately his efforts aren't rewarded as Laursen heads the cross clear.
70 min: Diouf breaks down the left and slides the ball across to Souleymane Camara. He has acres of space in the box but can only slide the ball into the side netting. He should have done better there.
68 min: After a delay as Fadiga has to tuck in his shirt, Laursen heads the corner clear at the front post.
66 min: Fadiga's curling free-kick is headed out for a corner by Laursen.

63 min: Laursen does superbly to track all the way back with Souleymane Camara and win the ball with a sliding tackle just inside his own area.
62 min: Denmark bring Christian Poulsen on for Gravesen as they try to stem the tide in midfield.
62 min: Diao goes into the book for a foul on Tomasson. The referee did well to allow play to continue before returning to caution Diao.

52 min: GOAL - DIAO. Diao sets Senegal on the break down the left. Fadiga breaks forward and slides the ball through the middle. Diao, who has run 70 yards after winning the ball on the edge of his own area, is the man on the end of the move and he slides the ball home.
52 min: Tofting's corner is headed clear by Bouba Diop. The ball reaches Jorgensen but he is well tackled by Salif Diao.

48 min: Bouba Diop comes in at the back post and looks to have a free header from Fadiga's cross. Henri Camara just nicks it away from him, though, and his header goes wide.

45 min: That's half-time. Senegal have been a shadow of the side that beat France, mainly as star striker Diouf has been isolated up front. Denmark have gone about their job well.
45 min: Rommedahl breaks on to Tofting's through ball, but he's just strayed offside.
45 min: Two minutes of added time to be played.

44 min: Diouf gets round Laursen down the left and earns a free-kick as he tumbles.

18 min: Diouf forces a corner down the left off Helveg.
17 min: Gronkjaer breaks on to Sands ball down the right but Pape Malick Diop gets back well to halt the danger.
16 min: GOAL - TOMASSON. Tomasson picks himself up and slots coolly past Sylva. The keeper went the right way, but just couldn't get a hand to it.
15 min: Tomasson goes down in the area after latching on to a quick throw in from Gronkjaer. Salif Diao is the man penalised after jumping in to Tomasson and making no contact with the ball.

12 min: The free-kick is wasted and Helveg returns to the action after receiving treatment on the touchline.

1 min: The first free-kick goes Senegal's way as Jesper Gronkjaer pushes Ferdinand Coly.
0 min: After Senegal's traditional pre-match huddle, Denmark get the game underway in stifling heat.

Denmark, who beat Uruguay in their opening match, are unchanged.
