Daniel Agger kept Denmark’s hopes of 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil qualification alive from the penalty spot as his side defeated ten-man Armenia 1-0 in their Group B match in Yerevan.
Agger did not miss from 12 yards after Varazdat Haroyan brought down Viktor Fischer in the 73rd minute, placing the ball into the bottom left corner to beat Armenia goalkeeper Gevorg Kasparov. Haroyan was shown a red card for the challenge on Fischer after it earned him his second booking of the night – his first came in the second minute for a foul on Nicki Bille Nielsen.
The result means Denmark have 12 points while Armenia remain on nine, with Italy leading the group comfortably .
