    Nearly a second for Denmark. Nicolai Jorgensen gets in front of his marker but can only steer a header off target.

    Australia don't need to go for it just yet but they need to show they've got an attacking threat themselves.

    Denmark have been very comfortable so far and Australia need to show that there are two teams in this game.

    Back on the pitch, Pione Sisto of Denmark tries his luck from 25 yards, but Mat Ryan is behind it and has no reason to panic.

    Any Australians looking for good omens? Well, sorry...

    Prior to today, Australia have lost six consecutive World Cup matches in which they’ve conceded the first goal, last avoiding defeat against Croatia in 2006 with a 2-2 draw.

    They're really up against it now this Australian team - we've got a side that is struggling to score goals trying to get back into a match against a team that doesn't really concede many goals.

    Fair to say Tottenham team-mate Toby Alderweireld is impressed with Eriksen's finish.

    So what have Australia got up their sleeves to come back with?

    Remember, they lost 2-1 to France on Saturday so another loss will probably be their chances of reaching the last 16 gone as they would need Peru to beat France, Denmark to also beat the French and then gain a big win over Peru.

    What a fantastic goal.

    It's the most brilliant technique you can imagine and Denmark deserve to be one nil up - despite it being so early.

    It's been a terrific start to the game, it's missing out all the unnecessary passing on the halfway line and we're seeing action at both ends of the pitch already.

    Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has now had a hand in 18 goals in his last 15 appearances for Denmark (13 goals, five assists).

    In two World Cup matches he has an assist versus Peru and now a goal versus Australia.

    GOAL - Denmark 1-0 Australiapublished at 6 mins

    Christian Eriksen

    We said Christian Eriksen was the danger man and he opens the scoring.

    A ball is played forward and Nicolai Jorgensen does excellently to flick the ball on, but Eriksen's technique is sublime, catching a rising ball sweetly on the half volley and it flies past Mat Ryan and Denmark lead.

    Australia initially struggling to get into this one at the moment, forced to defend on the edge of their penalty area.

    However, then their first opportunity comes via a quick break downfield and it sees the ball drop to Tom Rogic, but the Celtic man's shot is deflected behind.

    Mathew Leckie rises well to meet the corner but can't keep it down and over the bar it goes.

    Jodmos: Wonder if Denmark can score from outside the box in a World Cup match for the first time...

    It's quite a stat that every single one of Denmark's 28 World Cup goals have come from inside the area. Will it be 29 time lucky?

    The Christian Eriksen cross is partly cleared, but soon recycled into the box and Werder Bremen's Thomas Delaney meets the cross, but can only steer it wide. An early let-off for the Aussies.
