Twarit Khel: FIFA World Cup: Jedinak penalty earns Australia a draw against Denmark

Denmark and Australia played out a 1-1 draw on Thursday as a Mile Jedinak penalty secured a point for the Socceroos after a sublime Christian Eriksen strike inside seven minutes put the Danes ahead at the Samara Arena in the FIFA World Cup 2018.

Playing their second match of the tournament, both teams had started on the front foot, with Denmark's performance much better than in their opener against Peru, where their first shot came after 27 minutes.

This time around, it took them just three minutes to register a shot, with Thomas Delaney diverting Eriksen's corner, although failing to test Mattew Ryan in goal. Soon, Australia squandered their chance to draw first blood, with Mathew Leckie's header flying over the bar from a corner.
