    He didn't give a penalty, don't worry.

    This is a really odd one as the keeper has actually taken out his own man - who is lying on the ground with his arms around the ball!

    I do hope the referee doesn't give a penalty kick there, as both his hands are on the ball!

    It's been a lively game. Really robust challenges, but no-one seems to be complaining about it.

    Goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky is getting checked out too after that clash. Both Finnish players are OK after treatment.

    Another Finland injury. This time defender Jere Uronen has hurt himself after running into his own goalkeeper as they tried to deal with a cross.

    Denmark have had nine shots, three on target. Here was Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's effort.

    Teemu Pukki is fine to come back on. That's a huge relief for Finland. He's their only real goal threat.

    I think Finland will be very happy with where the game is just now because they have held on. There have been a few half chances, but now they are beginning to get forward a little bit.

    This is worrying for Finland. Teemu Pukki is down. Andreas Christensen accidentally caught him in the face.

    I think Finland are [beginning to gain a foothold in the match]. As we said earlier, it's really important they handle the nerves in their first game at their first major tournament.

    Teemu Pukki has shown that on any balls over the top he looks favourite to win the race.

    Finland's Joona Toivio cuts inside Thomas Delaney and gets clattered by the Dane. He's down in a heap but recovers soon enough.

    There was one arm on the shoulder of Teemu Pukki there. Many a player - and I'm tempted to say "most strikers" - would have gone down there. If he had gone down, then the referee would have had a massive decision to make.

    Sadly Pukki was honest - which didn't help him.

    Finland have grown into the game now, they're starting to hold their own a bit...

    And as I write that Denmark's Martin Braithwaite bursts into the box and should hit the target but screws it wide.

    Denmark captain Simon Kjaer probably saves his team there. Teemu Pukki flicks a long ball on towards goal and could be in... but Kjaer holds him off and wins the ball.

    Was it a foul? Could have been. Not given though.

    Christian Eriksen's corner is clever as he lifts it over everyone to Thomas Delaney, who is unmarked on the other side of the box. Delaney takes a touch and slices his half-volley over the bar.

    Denmark get their gazilliontieth corner of the game. Christian Eriksen to take.

    I know there are only 15 minutes or so gone, but if this game keeps on going the way it is, I know who the man of the match is already: Lukas Hradecky.

    He's been put under pressure from every single set-piece, every single attack. He is going to have to be on world-class form for the rest of the game.

    Surely a goal is coming. Finland give Christian Eriksen all the time in the world to slam in a shot and he does so from outside the box. It's another good diving save from Lukas Hradecky.

    Simon Atkins: I just can't see Finland having enough to get many points. However, it's fantastic to see them competing at a finals.

    Finland have a chance to counter as Teemu Pukki runs down the left wing but he doesn't really have any options.
