In the final match of Group C, France secured a ticket to the next round, so it is not surprising that Coach Deschamps has built some key players and fielded a squad with many reserve players. Meanwhile, Denmark only needs 1 point to qualify. Therefore, both teams entered the match slowly.
France has not "set up hands with Denmark" as Coach Deschamp declared. However, they also almost did not play when their attacks were very superficial.
This was a match in which spectators came packed to Luzhniki Stadium to cheer for the two teams. In particular, the French audience wanted to see their stars perform.
France was the team that controlled the ball superiorly in the first half with 65%. However, Denmark also showed that they are in no rush, so the goal is to play solidly at home. Therefore, there was no notable situation in the first half. If France had 2 shots on target, this number for Denmark was 0. In the remaining match, Peru opened the scoring against Australia, so they were even more confident in their ticket to the round of 16.
The second half was equally boring. The two teams seemed unwilling to continue playing, especially as the remaining match was settled with Peru having scored a double against Australia. The match was so bland that the audience watching the match kept complaining about disappointment. The match is considered to have the worst professional quality in the 2018 World Cup up to now.
The cameraman continuously took pictures in the stands because there were not many situations worth watching on the field. Disappointment was reflected on each fan's face. They did not witness the match as dedicated as expected.
The 0-0 draw helped France and Denmark join hands to enter the round of 16. Both were successful in terms of results but disappointed the audience.
