Australia dominated the second-half as they pushed for the winner that would blow Group C wide open but were unable to make their opportunities count.

It means the Socceroos will need to win their final match against Peru next week and hope other results go their way if they are to progress to the knockout phase.

The match started in dramatic fashion with the Danes, taking an early lead through their superstar Christian Eriksen.

A brilliant lay-off from Nikolai Jorgensen saw the Tottenham star blast a fantastic volley high into the net.

Australia eventually found their feet and hit-back eight minutes before the break from the penalty spot.
