Denmark went ahead four minutes into the ​second half as their pressure finally took its toll. The tie was made safe ​a minute later ​when he scored ⁠his second goal. Victor Froholdt’s shot from the edge of the box was only parried by North ​Macedonia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski and Isaksen turned in the ​rebound.
