Denmark held to 0-0 draw by DR Congo in friendly

Denmark's national football team faced DR Congo in a goalless friendly match in Liege, Belgium, a game that offered little excitement for the approximately 50 Danish fans present. The atmosphere was dominated by over 20,000 Congolese supporters who created a lively environment at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne.

The match served as a stark reminder for the Danish squad and coach Brian Riemer that they would not be participating in the upcoming World Cup. Despite the absence of World Cup qualification, the team saw the return of Andreas Christensen from a long-term knee injury. However, Christensen showed signs of rust, nearly gifting an early goal to DR Congo's Cedric Bakambu due to a misplaced back-pass.

Filip Jørgensen, starting in goal, made a crucial save to deny Bakambu later in the first half. Denmark's offense showed flashes of quality, with debutant Adam Daghim missing a chance and Joakim Mæhle hitting the post. Veteran Christian Eriksen marked his 150th international appearance, while Pierre-Emile Højbjerg also tested the DR Congo goalkeeper before halftime.

William Osula also debuted in the second half. Despite increased pressure from DR Congo as the match wore on, Jørgensen remained vigilant, making key saves. The match concluded with a 0-0 scoreline, reflecting a performance that offered few highlights for the Danish side.
