Christian Eriksen scored with his first touch on his Denmark comeback, 287 days after his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. Brought on against the Netherlands as a half-time substitute in Amsterdam, Eriksen was on the scoresheet within two minutes after ghosting onto Andreas Skov Olsen’s low cross into the box and curling a first-time shot into the top left corner. Eriksen ended up on the losing side, however. Tottenham’s Steven Bergwijn scored the first and last goals in a 4-2 win for the Dutch, with Manchester City’s Nathan Aké and Barcelona’s Memphis Depay, with a penalty, also on the scoresheet. Leicester’s Jannik Vestergaard scored Denmark’s other goal. In Baden-Württernburg, Chelsea’s Kai Havertz and Timo Werner scored first-half goals in their 2-0 win over Israel. Spain needed a 90th minute winner from Dani Olmo to beat Albania 2-1 in Espanyol’s Cornella El-Prat stadium. It took the home side 75 minutes to break the deadlock through Ferran Torres, only for Myrto Uzuni to equalise. “The crowd was amazing, they deserved a win,” Olmo told reporters. “We dominated and it was a good test. If we are playing friendlies now it’s because we are qualified for the World Cup so it’s says a lot.”
