Controversy: Van Marwijk confronts the referee after he missed a handball from Jacobsen (below left)

'Of course, the Dutch team had some chances but I thought we also had chances. We had good positional play and trusted our own way of playing football.

'That was especially important against a Dutch team who like to dominate. It was important to show how and why we qualified for this tournament.

'You saw a Danish team who overall were the better team and also over the last 10 minutes were better physically than the Dutch team - that was very important.'

Asked if he was worried after Holland made a particularly bright start to the contest, he replied: 'Sure, but football is not only 20 minutes. Its 90 minutes and more.'

The Danes next face Portugal in Lviv on Wednesday.
