Armenia 4 - Denmark 0

Copenhagen was the site for Denmark's home qualifier against Armenia, who had just suffered a shock loss at home to Malta and were hoping to pass the pain onto Denmark.  Olsen's Army, on the other hand, were looking at their favorable ending schedule with matches home and away against both Armenia and Malta as a chance to accumulate points and run back up the table in Group B.  Seeing as how Armenia were coming in off a shock loss at home to Malta, Denmark had to like their chances.  The real shock came off the opening kickoff.  Simon Kjaer played a soft pass out of central defense for Denmark, and then he was unable to knock Yura Movsisyan off the resulting through ball as Armenia found a goal within the opening thirty seconds of the match.  Not quite twenty minutes later, and Kjaer was again the goat.  A pass from their own half of the field sprung Aras Ozbiliz through an offside trap misplayed by Kjaer, and Ozbiliz took his chance in empty space well from the half circle with Denmark goalkeeper William Kvist approaching.  Armenia would take their stunning two-goal lead into intermission.

A clearly befuddled Denmark side were made to look silly on the third goal.  Just before the hour mark, Movsisyan slalomed two defenders and passed the ball off.  After receiving the next pass, Ozbiliz then slalomed three defenders and dribbled freely into the box.  Movsisyan from their essentially stole the ball from Ozbiliz and slotted home for his second, the team's third.  Kvist saved Movsisyan's hat trick attempt with a block off the line after his goalkeeper had been left floating at the top of the penalty box.  With eight minutes to go, Henrikh Mkhitaryan (pictured, white) finished from fourteen yards despite being tightly marked as his fancy footwork earned him just enough space in which to manufacture a nice shot and a fourth goal to the visitors.  In what can be described as nothing less than a shock of massive proportions, 2012 Euro finalists and 2010 South Africa participants Denmark fall 4-0 at home to Armenia.
