Morten Rasmussen and Kasper Lorentzen scored second-half goals Tuesday to give Denmark a 2-0 win over Cyprus in a European Championship qualifying match.

Rasmussen opened the scoring with a header two minutes into the second half. Lorentzen doubled the lead in the 80th with a hard shot.

Denmark had the majority of possession and carved out several chances, but failed to find the net due to a mixture of bad luck and a compact Cyprus defense.

The win gives Denmark six points in Group H after three qualifying matches, while Cyprus has one point.
