Denmark cruise past Kazakhstan

By Peter Bruun

Denmark's Under-21 national team have moved five points clear at the top of Group 2 after a convincing win against Kazakhstan at Brøndby stadium in front of 1,200 spectators.

Agger double
It took the Danish team just three minutes to go ahead through central defender Daniel Agger, and Leon Andreasen doubled their lead 40 minutes later. The visitors pulled one back courtesy of Sergey Skorykh on the stroke of half-time, before Denmark resumed control with second-half strikes from Michael Krohn-Dehli, Morten Nicolas Rasmussen and Agger, finishing off what he had started with his second and Denmark's fifth.

Kazakhstan break
Denmark visit Ukraine, who dropped to third following Turkey's win today, on Tuesday hoping to further stretch their lead and all but seal their place in November's play-offs, while Kazakhstan will have to wait until June for their next match, also away in Ukraine.
