Darren Randolph 7 - Made a superb save to deny dangerman Poulsen shortly before the Danes took the lead
Seamus Coleman 6 - Started well and attacked with a sense of purpose but was pushed onto the back foot until late on
Shane Duffy 9 - Goal hero once again with another beast of a performance on the front and back foot.
Richard Keogh 7 - Failed to pick up Hojbjerg for the Danish goal but that was the only blot on his copybook
Enda Stevens 6 - Hands full with Poulsen and there was little chemistry in his partnership down the left with McClean.
Glenn Whelan 6 - Passed well but the Danes had the run of midfield and was working overtime.
Conor Hourihane 7 - Fabulous dead balls and played well but lost his cool when booked for a hack on Eriksen.
Jeff Hendrick 6 - Grafted hard off the ball but struggled to affect the game until arriving late to the party
Robbie Brady 6 - Made a lively start but blew hot and cold before his withdrawal after the hour
David McGoldrick 7 - Always capable of producing a moment of magic. Kept the Danes guessing and went close with a header
James McClean 6 - Lacked a spark in the first-half but was more effective late on and nearly won it.
