Clement Bischoff, a standout substitute, played a pivotal role in Denmark U21’s 3-2 victory over Ukraine in their European Championship opener. He scored a goal and contributed to the decisive late goal, helping Denmark overcome deficits of 0-1 and 1-2.

Bischoff, along with club teammate Noah Nartey, entered the game midway through the second half when Denmark trailed 0-1. Their introduction significantly improved Denmark’s performance. Bischoff emphasized their directive to play to their strengths, bringing composure to the ball and fostering effective teamwork, particularly with Nartey.

U21 national coach Steffen Højer praised the impact of Bischoff and Nartey. Højer highlighted Nartey’s ball-winning ability and Bischoff’s calming presence and ability to challenge the opposition.

William Osula and Thomas Jørgensen, also substitutes, were instrumental in the winning goal, giving the coach valuable options for the upcoming match against the Netherlands.

Bischoff acknowledged the importance of the win against Ukraine as preparation for facing the Netherlands, considered the strongest team in the group. He stressed the significance of securing a victory to improve their chances of advancing from the group and expressed the team’s determination to compete for first place.

Denmark’s group also includes Finland. A first or second-place finish would secure their spot in the quarter-finals.
