Denmark 2-0 Wales: Craig Bellamy's side bottom of Nations League group after second defeat in a row
Wales wilted in Copenhagen as a 2-0 defeat to Denmark left them bottom of their Nations League group.
Both of Denmark's goals came from set pieces delivered by Brentford midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard with Ben Davies turning into his own net shortly after the break before Gustav Iskasen's deflected strike put the game beyond doubt.
Wales were second best throughout and could have been behind in the first half with Damsgaard striking the post from range moments after Isaksen had a volley ruled out by VAR for a marginal offside from Rasmus Hojlund in the build-up.
Craig Bellamy's depleted side battled to a 1-0 defeat against Portugal in Lisbon on Thursday but they were utterly outclassed by Denmark in Copenhagen in a result that paints a bleak picture for their hopes in Nations League Group A4.
Wales have failed to register a single goal or point in their first two games and they face an uphill battle if they are to avoid relegation from this group.
Denmark were under similar pressure after being beaten by Norway on Thursday, and there was turmoil in the camp after captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg openly questioned the team's tactics, but they rose to the occasion and could easily have won more comfortably.
