Chelsea defender helped Denmark qualify for the 2020 World Cup

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen made his 12th consecutive international start, and helped keep yet another clean sheet in Denmark’s 1-0 win over Austria that confirmed Denmark’s place in the tournament next summer winter. Denmark have yet to concede a goal in their qualifying campaign.

Andreas Christensen was on action for Denmark national team on Tuesday night, and he was able to play a vital role in their deserved 1-0 victory over Austria in Europe’s World Cup qualifier.

Playing at the Parken Stadium, Denmark were dominant against a depleted Austria, but it took a piece of magic from Thomas Delaney to break the deadlock, the midfielder dancing through Austria’s backline before teeing up Joakim Maehle to convert the clinching goal.

Chelsea academy graduate was given another starting role by his coach, following his outstanding performance for the team in their previous game, and he was able to impress again.

Denmark became the second nation to secure qualification for the 2022 World Cup, joining host nation Qatar, and hopefuls Germany, who qualified yesterday thanks in part to Timo Werner’s brace.
