What Denmark’s win over Wales means for Ireland in the Nations League

Jack O'Toole

Denmark’s 2-1 win over Wales on Friday night has relegated Ireland from Group 4 of League B.

Goals from Nicolai Jorgensen and Martin Braithwaite were enough to seal Denmark the win despite Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale pulling one back for the Welsh in the 89th minute.

With just one point and no wins from three games, Ireland will now be demoted to League C where they will join Slovakia, Sweden and Northern Ireland among the relegated teams.
