Denmark star Christian Eriksen was awake in hospital and undergoing tests after collapsing and needing to be revived on the pitch against Finland on Saturday in extraordinary scenes at Euro 2020. After the shocked teams embraced, the Finns claimed a shock 1-0 win in their first major tournament match, with Joel Pohjanpalo scoring the winner on the hour mark. UEFA said the decision to restart was made "following the request by players of both teams" and supporters cheered as the game recommenced. He's doing fine, and they are playing the game for him," DBU director Peter Moeller told Danish television. Limited crowds are being allowed in to matches at the Euro, which was postponed a year ago because of the health crisis.
