Denmark’s Yussuf Poulsen stole the spotlight with a stunning bicycle kick as he led his team to a commanding 2-0 victory over Serbia in their Nations League A Group 4 clash on Sunday. With this win, Denmark sits atop the group with a perfect six points from their opening two matches.
Denmark‘s attacking midfielder Albert Gronbaeck, fresh off his impressive debut performance against Switzerland, opened the scoring in the 36th minute. The 22-year-old combined brilliantly with Poulsen, playing a one-two before calmly slotting home his first-ever senior international goal, giving the Danes a deserved lead.
However, it was Poulsen’s jaw-dropping scissor kick that sealed the match and set social media buzzing. In the 61st minute, the 30-year-old forward acrobatically launched himself between two Serbian defenders, connecting with Victor Kristiansen’s cross to bury the ball into the net. The spectacular goal not only secured Denmark’s second win but also highlighted Poulsen’s elite finishing ability.

Serbia, who had managed a scoreless draw against Denmark during their Euro 2024 group stage clash in June, struggled to replicate that form. They failed to create any significant chances, leaving Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel largely untroubled as Denmark cruised to victory.
Denmark’s dominance in the group now sets the stage for their upcoming October matches, where they will face Spain and Switzerland away from home.
