Denmark held at home by Belarus, need draw in Scotland to top group

Denmark had to come from behind to grab a 2-2 draw with Belarus on Saturday, missing a golden opportunity to put themselves in the driving seat in World Cup qualifying Group C as second-placed Scotland lost 3-2 in Greece, Reuters reported. 

The Danes top the group on 11 points and travel to Glasgow to meet the Scots, who are one point behind, on Tuesday after a shaky performance in front of their home crowd, who booed at the final whistle as their team threw away two points in a game they should have won comfortably.

Denmark got off to a superb start when winger Mikkel Damsgaard gave them the lead with a dipping shot that bounced into the far corner, and for long stretches it looked like Belarus, who lost 6-0 at home to Denmark, might suffer another hiding, according to Reuters.
