Kasper Schmeichel saluted world-class Christian Eriksen after watching him fire Denmark into the World Cup finals with a match-winning display against the Republic of Ireland. After a goalless draw in the first leg of the play-off, Denmark won 5-1. Asked about his teammate, Leicester goalkeeper Schmeichel said: "World-class. That's the only way to describe him, world-class."

Eriksen came to the fore as Denmark fought their way back from an early disadvantage as Shane Duffy had headed Ireland into a sixth-minute lead. However, two goals inside three first-half minutes, Cyrus Christie's own goal and the first strike of Eriksen's treble, turned the game on its head. The Spurs man added two more after the break. Substitute Nicklas Bendtner's last-minute penalty simply rubbed salt into Irish wounds. Schmeichel said: "It's been a long time coming for Denmark. We missed out on the last two tournaments, so we're very happy and proud."
