EM 2021: Finland against Russia in the live ticker - Eriksen's collapse overshadows Finns coup

The Finns celebrated their first victory with a 1-0 win in Denmark on Saturday when they participated in a World or European Championship for the first time.

Nobody had believed anything in the 5.5 million inhabitant country, which is known for ice hockey or winter sports.

The tournament newcomer could not really celebrate the coup, because everything was overshadowed by the tragic collapse of Dane Christian Eriksen.

The game had to be interrupted shortly before half-time, for a long time it was questionable whether it could go on at all.

Eriksen gave the all-clear from the hospital and is now on the mend.

EM 2021: Finland against Russia in the live ticker - Suomi have the last sixteen in mind

The winning goal for the Suomi (translated: "Land of Lakes and Swamps"), as Finland is also called, headed Joel Pohjanpalo from Leverkusen, who was loaned to Union Berlin last season. On the defensive, the Finns defended passionately and remained without a goal despite 2:22 shots on goal. They also owed that to their goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, also from Leverkusen. The keeper even parried a penalty. “We know we can hurt any opponent. And we have nothing to lose, ”said the Bayer professional. "If every opponent has a little respect and concern about how they should play against us, then we've done our job well."

Finland could already make the round of 16 perfect with a win against Russia, even a draw should almost be enough for the knockout phase given the mode in which the four best thirds of the group progress.

“When we started this tournament, we had a dream.

The win against Denmark was the first milestone.

And we already have the next milestones in mind, ”said coach Markku Kanerva.
