Yussuf Poulsen's early goal for Denmark in their Euro 2020 match against Belgium on Thursday lifted the spirits of a team still traumatised by Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest and they are now determined to beat Russia for him, coach Kasper Hjulmand said.

Although the Danes were beaten 2-1 by Belgium, they can still make the knockout round from Group B with a 2-0 win over Russia provided Finland do not get a result against Belgium.
