Tomáš Hubočan surges through and he is stopped in agricultural fashion by Kasper Kempel.Not sure if they allow that in futsal or not to be honest but they don’t allow it in actual football.
Here’s the backstory

Amateurs hour: bitter contract dispute decimates Denmark’s team
mins: Slovakia 0 Denmark 0
Slov on the attack, but they have put the ball out of play. What we really need to know here is «what are the professions of the Danish XI?» Is left-back a milkman? Does the centre-half run a hair salon with his partner? Is the tricky right-winger an electrician?

Our brave lads, inspired perhaps by the fairytales of Hans Cristian Andersen or perhaps the Rocky IV era work of Brigitte Nielsen in her pomp, are fighting magnificently so far and the score remains zero goals to zero.

An unflattering shot of the Slovakian coach, who looks like he might be losing his patience with all this.
GOAL! Slovakia 1 Denmark 0
Oh dear. The hosts have scored. Will that open the floodgates?

Nemec the scorer, Kucka the man credited with the assist.

Not too much of the ball so far for Offenberg the skipper, but Vollesen, the student who is playing right-back is in the game. Needs to watch his positioning, the back four not all stepping up together, but doing a game job nevertheless.

Denmark with a chance! A low cross, number nine Oskar Høybye strikes it first time, but he has spooned it over the bar.

Keeper with an iffy punch at the freekick but they get it clear.

Here, one of the Danish lads makes trick shot football videos on You Tube.
GOAL! Slovakia 2 Denmark 0
Shame, that will be goodnight sweet princes for the plucky Danishers. Slovakia have got the second, Albert Rusnák driving forward from the inside right position and hitting a hard low shot that’s got too much mustard on it for the lads in Denmark nets.
HALF TIME: Slovakia 2 Denmark 0
Well, far from disgraced in that half, the lads. Here’s hoping that they can keep it respectable in the second dig and, better than that, maybe pinch one? That would be dreamland.
