Photos: Belgium tops Denmark 2-1 at Euro 2020

Kevin de Bruyne (pictured) came off the bench to inspire Belgium to a 2-1 comeback win over Denmark on Thursday and a place in the Euro 2020 knockout stages on an emotional afternoon of tributes to Christian Eriksen.

Belgian fans hold a banner referring to Denmark's Christian Eriksen prior to the Euro 2020 soccer championship group B match between Denmark and Belgium at Parken stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Denmark got off to a dream start when Yussuf Poulsen put them ahead (pictured) after 99 seconds as the team rode a wave of sentiment over playmaker Eriksen's cardiac arrest in their first game.

The Danes dominated the first half but Belgium turned to a bench bursting with talent and De Bruyne, who came on right after the interval, laid on a sublime pass for Thorgan Hazard (pictured) to level in the 54th minute after a galloping run by Romelu Lukaku.

De Bruyne (pictured) completed the comeback by finishing off another classy move to thump the ball into the net in the 74th minute.
