Denmark Continues Inspiring Year, Qualifies for 2022 World Cup

Denmark became the second team to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with a 1-0 win over Austria on Tuesday, capping an emotional year for the national team.

Atalanta fullback Joakim Mæhle scored the decisive goal for Denmark in the 53rd minute with his near-post finish after Thomas Delaney evaded three defenders at the edge of the area to set up the goal.

Denmark joins Germany, which booked its ticket to Qatar on Monday with a win over North Macedonia coupled with an Armenia loss. The 2022 World Cup begins Nov. 21, 2022 in Al Khor, Qatar, with 29 tickets still up for grabs.
