The former Arsenal forward was disappointed with his team's performance, but praised Ireland's defensive fortitude in the first leg in Copenhagen

Denmark forward is hoping his side can improve in the second leg of their play-off encounter with the Republic of Ireland, claiming that Saturday's scoreless draw in Copenhagen 'wasn't a f***ing exciting match.'

The Danes were frustrated by Ireland's defensive approach for much of the game, and failed to take advantage of their better possession and shots on target statistics. Bendtner was sent on during the second-half as Age Hareide hoped to gain a first-leg advantage, but could not find a way through the resilient Irish backline.
