Bellamy: Key man
90 It's all over! An excellent win for the Welsh and plenty of signs of promise for the future.
90 In comes the corner again, it's headed towards goal but Myhill is there to make the stop.
90 Sorensen comes up for the corner and Larsen heads against the post. What an escape.
90 Desperate defending by Wales. Denmark win a corner.
90 90 seconds to play.
90 Fantastic save from Myhill as he turns Vingaard's right-foot shot around the post. The corner comes to nothing and is that Denmark's final chance gone?
90 Three minutes to add says the fourth official's board.
89 Myhill is in no rush as he takes a goalkick.
88 Can Wales see it out? Just two minutes to go.
87 Ramsey is replaced by Tudur-Jones.
87 Denmark take a short corner but can't cash in as Rommedahl's cross drops to safety.
87 Another substitution for Wales. Bale is replaced by Eardley.
86 Bale goes down and need treatment. Play is held up.
85 Bale crosses from the left but Agger reads it and sets Denmark on the attack again. Bendtner goes for goal and his shot is deflected over by Collins.
84 Rommedahl skips past three defenders but is forced wide. The cross eventually comes in but Larsen can't direct his header towards goal.
83 Denmark are strarting to get frustrated now as Larsen and Rommedahl exchange words after a misplaced pass.
82 The corner is too deep and goes straight out of play.
81 Ramsey gives the ball away, allowing Denmark to break. Andreasen crosses from the right and it's headed behind for a corner.
80 Rommedahl thumps a low right-foot shot but it's blocked. Bellamy delays his clearance and is almost caught out but eventually the danger passes.
80 Ricketts is flagged offside down the left. A wrong decision as he was clearly not beyond the last defender.
79 A new challenge for the Welsh youngsters. Can they hang onto a 1-0 lead away from home?
78 Bellamy got the only goal the last time the two sides met in Denmark. Is history about to repeat itself?
77 GOAL - BELLAMY. The striker drives forward, sets himself for the shot and finds the bottom corner with a low right-foot drive. Wales lead 1-0.
77 Danish coach Morten Olsen looks frustrated at his side's lack of urgency and wants a final push.
76 Myhill's punt upfield is charged down but it skews out for a throw. A few signs of tiredness from the young Welsh side.
75 Good defensive header from Agger as Vogts looks to take a pass.
74 Nice footwork by Ramsey but he spoils it with a rather tired pass.
73 Neat passing by Wales. These young lads aren't afraid to pass their way out of trouble and it's refreshing to see.
72 The action has become scrappy due probably to all the substitutions.
71 Another change as Retov is introduced to the action.
70 Larsen goes down in the box under a challenge from Collins but no penalty.
69 Good clearance from Myhill after a poor back-pass threatens to put him in trouble.
68 Vingaard tries a quick first-time shot as Collison drops to the floor after taking a knock but it's wide of the post.
67 Ramsey seems to have faded a bit in this half so maybe Toshack will look to shuffle the pack again.
66 Bale goes to the back post this time, trying to pick out Collins, but Bendtner clears it behind. Wales take a short corner this time but can't make anything of it.
65 Bale's corner is headed behind for another.
64 Gunter wins a corner for Wales on the right.
63 Denmark try a Rory Delap-style throw into the Welsh box and briefly it causes panic before Williams eventually clears.
62 Just under half an hour to go and can either side find a breakthrough goal?
61 Denmark now have just five of their starting line-up on the pitch.
60 Wales replace Evans with Sam Vokes while Denmark make two more substitutions, bringing on Jorgensen and Vingaard for Kroldrup and Krohn-Delhi.
59 Rommedahl almost gets in behind but Ricketts does well to get his body in the way.
58 Bellamy gets a shove from Kroldrup but no free-kick.
57 Ramsey pulls the trigger but his shot is blocked but Bale fires in a follow-up effort which forces Sorensen into a diving stop.
56 Good possession from Wales but they can't work space for a shot.
55 Bellamy threads a bal through to Evans but his angled shot is straight at Sorensen. Both defences look a little suspect and it's just a surprise that the game is still goalless.
54 Larsen finds space again but this time, with his weaker right foot, drags the ball wide. He looks a handful though and it's no surprise that he's got eight goals in just 11 internationals.
53 Bendtner gives the ball away in his own half but Wales can't profit.
52 The crowd have come to life after Denmark's bright start to the second half.
51 Denmark go close again thanks to Larsen. Another thumping left-foot shot from the No.19 is palmed away by Myhill and another of the subs, Andreasen, can only turn the rebound over.
50 Fantastic strike from one of the subs, Soren Larsen, flies just wide of Myhill's right-hand upright.
49 A rather disjointed start to the second half as the Danes, in particular, try and get their subs up to speed.
48 Classy play by Agger as he gets himself out of a tight corner.
47 Wales have brought Sam Ricketts into the action for the second half with Edwards making way while the Danes have made four changes. Bogelund, Rasmussen, Kristensen and Nordstrand have all been replaced.
46 Wales get the second 45 in play.
The half-time whistle goes and Wales should be in front. They've had the best of the chances but just haven't been clinical in front of goal. 0-0.
45 Great work from Bellamy down the left as he works space and crosses for Evans but the striker can only turn the ball over the bar.
44 Williams again does well to get across and snub out the threat from Bendtner.
43 Rommedahl is caught offside on the right edge of the area.
42 Excellent defensive work from Williams as Denmark look for a way through the middle.
41 Ramsey tries to slot a pass through to Evans but can't find his target. Good movement though from the Welsh.
40 Bellamy and Bale try a one-two on the edge of the box but the striker can't take the return pass.
39 Another chance for Wales as Bellamy cuts the ball back to Evans but Rasmussen throws himself in front of the shot and makes a vital block.
38 Another fantastic chance for Bellamy as he beats the offside trap. He's through on goal but takes the ball a little wide and his angled shot is stopped by Sorensen's outstretched boot.
37 Krohn-Delhi crosses into the box but the ball is cut out.
36 Bendtner tries to get round the back of the Welsh defence but Nyatanga comes across to cover. Denmark press again and Rasumussen thumps a left-foot shot not too far wide.
35 Bendtner tries a snap-shot from 20 yards out but he's off target.
34 Long ball forward from Agger but Wales deal with it. However Ramsey is caught in possession by Bogeland, allowing Denmark to cross to Nordstrand at the far post but Myhill makes a good catch.
33 Terrible cross from Bogelund goes straight out of play. The quality has just dipped in the last few minutes.
32 Bale surges forward but can't get a shot off before Bellamy gives the ball away as he looks to cut into the box.
31 Nice break from Wales but Evans can't pick out Bellamy.
30 Nice possession by Wales who have plenty of players that look very comfortable on the ball.
29 Collison tries to break out of defence but is tripped, giving Wales a free-kick.
28 Bendtner looks the man most likely to create something for the Danes and Wales will have to watch him closely.
27 Myhill is called into action for the first time as Bendtner threads a lovely ball through to Rommedahl, who pulls the ball back to Nordstrand only for the No.8 to shoot straight at the goalkeeper.
26 Agger has to go back to his goalkeeper as Wales press in midfield.
25 Nordstrand drives forward but Nyatanga's outstretched leg halts his progress. Wales break and win a free-kick as Bellamy is fouled.
24 Bellamy, out on the left, crosses for Evans but Sorensen comes out to make the catch.
23 The lively Rasmussen pulls the ball back to Nordstrand, who feeds Krohn-Delhi and the No.11 fires just wide. Denmark's best moment so far.
22 Another chance for Wales as Evans turns past his man in the box after a pass from Collison but Sorensen comes out and the striker can't get the ball under control.
21 Nice turn by Bendtner but Nordstrand has the ball picked off him by Nyatanga.
20 Bellamy crosses for Evans but the striker is penalised for a shove on Rasmussen.
19 Evans takes a knock on the head as he leaps with Agger. Play is briefly held up as he receives treatment.
18 Denmark continue to probe but Wales are doing a decent job at the back.
17 Bogelund tries to work space for a cross but he's well closed down by Ramsey.
16 Norregaard goes for goal from just outside the box but he skies it over the crossbar.
15 A pretty open first 15 minutes and Wales would be 1-0 ahead if only Bellamy had got his head up.
14 Golden chance for Wales. Bellamy's tremendous pace leaves Bogelund on his backside as he latches onto an Edwards pass and he's through on goal. Ramsey is totally unmarked and just square of him and it's a tap-in for the youngster if Bellamy rolls him a pass but the striker goes for goal and scuffs it well wide.
13 Nordstrand wins a corner for Denmark down the right. Rasmussen comes across to take it but Collins heads clear.
12 Wales are keeping a good shape at the back and Denmark are struggling to penetrate.
11 Nice turn by Ramsey in midfield. This boy really does have a touch of class.
10 Evans again shows good strength before he concedes a free-kick for handball. The young striker looks a handful.
9 Good hold-up play by Evans, who leaves Agger on his back as the two contest a high ball.
8 First chance for Wales as Evans' left-foot shot is deflected wide. The corner is aimed at Collins who fails to get a decent connection from the edge of the six-yard box when unmarked. An opportunity missed for the away side.
7 Nice first touch from Ramsey as Wales play the ball through midfield.
7 The corner comes in but Nordstrand is penalised for impeding Myhill in the Welsh goal.
6 Agger glides forward as Denmark push forward again before Rasmussen wins a corner.
5 Bendtner breaks into the box and looks to shoot but Collins' tackle is well timed and the danger passes.
4 Evans is caught offside as he receives a header from Bellamy.
3 Rasmussen hooks a cross into the box and Nordstrand half-volleys it wide of goal. An early warning that the Danes are a threat on the break.
2 Good early pressing by Wales as they win their first possession.
1 Denmark get the game in play. It's far from a full house here tonight so Wales shouldn't find it at all intimidating.

Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, 17, wins his first full Wales cap in the Brondby stadium as boss John Toshack makes five changes from the side that lost their last match to Germany in a World Cup qualifier.

Denmark have three English-based players - Liverpool's Daniel Agger, Stoke's Thomas Sorensen and Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner. Former Charlton winger Dennis Rommedahl also starts.
Denmark: Sorensen, Bogelund, Agger, Rasmussen, Kroldrup, Kristensen, Norregaard, Nordstrand, Krohn-Delhi, Bendtner, Rommedahl. Subs: Andersen, Mtiliga, Jorgensen, Andreasen, Retov, Vingaard, Ilso, Larsen.
