Some excellent midfield play from Olsen's men, for whom Gronkjaer, Rommedahl and substitute Jorgensen all did well out wide, with Tomasson reaping the benefit. 2-1 at full-time

And that's it. Kuwaiti referee Mane has seen enough. Full time and deservedly the Danes top Group A

Seconds remaining - Uruguay have a chance to hurl a throw towards the box, but they take it short and Gravesen and co, as they have done for much of the game, pick up the pieces

Regeueiro steams down the left flank but three red shirts prevent any chance of a cross. The Danes in control

Into injury-time: three minutes to be added. Morales rises to head Varela's cross at goal but it's high and wide.

Last-ditch stuff for the men in blue - a corner from the left but Laursen gets rid of it. Gravesen looks to find Tomasson but it's just beyond Tomasson

Now two-goal play-off hero Morales replaces Abreu, while midfielder Poulsen is on for Sand for the Danes

Plenty of 'Danmark, Danmark' coming from the stands as we approach the final minutes

And with Recoba gone there doesn't seem to be much danger of them coming back. Goalscorer Rodriguez is replaced by Magallanes

Uruguay were becoming too content with the possibility of a draw and have paid the price for sitting deep and failing to attack the man in possession

Denmark are now dominating possession. It's worked wide to Jorgensen whose cross finds Tomasson unchallenged to head in off the bar. 2-1 to the Danes!

Gravesen's kick is headed on for a Denmark throw on the right. Tofting takes and the ball comes to Gravesen again. It's a powerful volley but blue shirts are in the way.

But Gravesen surges purposefully into the box to win a corner - before which a tired Recoba is relaced by Regeriro

Neither side over-comitting to attack now - little surprise there with the group thrown wide open by yesterday's result.

Helveg skips up field to avert danger, feeding Sand, who does well to hold up for Jorgensen. The substitute bursts in on a superb run from from the left, but runs our of space as Carini closes in near the by-line. Goalkick

Abreu unimpressed after Recoba chose an ambitious early cross rather than attacking space in front of him on the left. The Danes head clear

Jorgensen makes his first impact after coming on, a weaving run down the left but his final ball is way too strong for Tomasson ahead

Tofting is still working strongly, winning a corner on the right. It comes to Helveg who almost finds room to shoot at the far post, but Sorondo sweeps the ball away from his feet

Second Danish substitution as Jorgensen replaces Gronkjaer

Then danger from Recoba down the left - it's headed behind for a Uruguay corner. Henriksen heads Recoba's first delivery behind, and then half clears the second ball straight to the goalscorer Rodriguez... his shot is blocked and finally, after another corner, Henriksen again clears fully

Uruguay play it around the back with Montero orchestrating. Mendez then looks for the long ball but Henriksen intercepts

Stil awaiting that substitution - Pua may have changed his mind about it

Strong burst from Helveg. The Danes then switch ot from right to left, but Gronkjaer is dispossessed. Uruguay counter and Recoba tries his luck from long range. Sorensen has to dive to his left but the Fevernova ball is on its best behaviour. He gathers two-handed

Now coach Pua about to make his first change with Romero to replace Rodriguez

Now Mendez concedes a freekick at the other end. Sand looks dangerous as the ball ricchets around in the 'mixer', but Montero is there to clear the danger

Guigou attacks the inside left, shooting left-footed but the whistle has gone for a foul by goalscorer Rodriguez

It's a straight swap. Meanwhile, Laursen has to clear under pressure from Recoba. Mendez takes the long through and the AC Milan defender clears again

First substitution: Manchester City's Niclas Jensen replaces Heintze, the left back

Tofting charges through the middle but can't find Tomasson

Uruguay counter and Recoba looks lively again, Laursen gets across to force a corner. Headed clear from the near post though

But now the Everton midfielder finds Roommedahl on the right. It's worked to Gronjkaer on the left, and back again for the PSV man to cross, but Sand is beaten to the header.

Gravesen looks to reassert the Danes' midfield dominance with a strong challenge, but there's not much going out wide at the moment

Gronkjaer is sloppy, passing directly to Abreu and Lauresen is forced into a bad foul to stop the counter attack in midfield. Yellow card

Now Silva surges down the right flank, but the cross is behind Abreu

A goal befitting the world stage and, after looking much the poorer side before the break, the twice world champions are suddenly lifted

Recoba takes, it's headed clear, but Rodriguez controls and strikes an unstoppable volley past Sorensen from 25 yards. A superb equaliser

Uruguay wrk it quickly up the left and Helveg concedes the corner

Tomasson and Sand restart and immediately the ball is launched high. Carini is out to collect at the edge of the Uruguay box

All set for the second half, and Denmark all set to join Senegal at the top of Group A.

A bright and even start gave way to some excellent midfield and wide play from the Danes, who look well in command, 1-0 up at the break

Probably best for Uruguay that the half-time whistle goes... And referee Mane does them that favour

Into injurytime and how will Uruguay respond? Recoba darts in from the left with purpose, but Laursen times his tackle to perfection

Then superb work on the other flank. Gronkjaer gets behind Mendez to cross low for Tomasson to side-foot the opening goal from 8 yards out. More than deserved. 1-0 Denmark

The Danes continue to dominate - Rommedahl, this time on the right, crosses from deep but it's too strong

Now Tomasson surges into the mox and Mendez does brilliantly to tackle 12 yards out in front of goal

Rommedahl takes a swiping shot and Sorondo has to scamble it behind. Gravesen takes a well-worked corner and Sand almost finds room to cross from a dangerous position. But it's out of play

Now Recoba supplies a similarly excellent ball for Silva to attack, but he's forced wide and the ball's out of play for a goalkick

Gravesen looks for Tomasson running through the middle, but the striker can't quite control it

Helveg launches a long ball from the back but Garcia is able to chest back to keeper Carini

Superb early ball from Tofting finds Gronkjaer wide on the right, but the Chelsea midfielder is quickly outnumbered and eventually manages only a scuffed cross which Garcia can clear

Yellow card for Heintze - studs up in the challenge on Varela

...ended by Dario Silva's darting round down the right wing. Tofting does well to track back and intercept the cross though

A bit of scrappy stuff with both sides surrendering possession

Easily handled by the defenders. Recoba has a rare charge down the left with two men in the middle: Silva tries to head across goal but Abreu is ruled offside in the middle

The two wide men are also switching positions regularly and that's adding to the Uruguyans problems. Now Gronkjaer wins a throw on the right

The Danes beginning to gain the upper hand in midfield, and also looking more dangerous from the flanks through Gronkjaer and Rommedahl

Gravesen takes and Uruguay have to clear behind for a corner. The Everton man takes again but Montero and Garcia combine to get the ball away from danger

Gronkjaer takes on fullback Mendez again, and comes off the winner as the first yellow card is shown for a crude lunge

Rodriguez gives a throw-in away under pressure from Rommedahl. It's hurled into the box, and after a minor scramble Garcia is able to head back to keeper Carini

Another curling freekick from Recoba but Sorensen is well positioned and gathers safely low to his left

Garcia feeds Silva from the back, but Heintze brings the blond bombshell down

Laursen attempts a burst onto a loose ball in midfield but is brought crashing to the floor. Central freekick, 45 yards out, goes to Gravesen, but his ludicrously ambitious strike is low and wide

Now Varela lurks again on the edge of the Danish box, chasing the long ball, but Heintze hoofs clear

Silva's back on to hook away after Gravesen's freekick is half-cleared

Uruguay still down to ten men as Gronkjaer charges down the left - Mendez fouls him

Freekick again as Silva is stretchered away. Recoba lofts one in to the box where Varela beats the central defence for the header - but it's straight at Sorensen. Sleepy Danes

Silva left writhing in an Oscar-winning fashion by Laursen's lunge, the Kuwaiti referee plays advantage but none accrues.

Head-tennis in midfield before Gravesen releases Gronkjaer. His ball is too strong but the Danes rebuild - Rommedahl supplies from the right for Sand to sneak in for the header: down and off the cross bar. A close shave for Carini and co

Recoba takes, Henriksen heads clear. The Danes look to break but Tofting's ball to Gronkjaer is poor

Now Montero punts forward and Silva again causes trouble, forcing another corner

Guigou looks for Mendez wide on the right, but the ball is poorly struck and out for a throw

Both sides showing attacking intent and ability in these opening exchanges

Now danger from Silva and the beck-pedalling Danes concede a freekick. Recoba takes left-footed from 25 yards - a curler that wasn't far wide

Rommedahl rumbles forward down the right. He lokks lumbering but suddenly shimmies past two defenders before striking crisply - Carini watches it drift wide

First contribution from Chelsea's Gronkjaer out on the left. He beats Sorondo but Carini collects the cross at the near post

Sorondo launches a ball from the back and Silva is onto it - Sorensen is out sharply to collect at the edge of the box

Rodriguez chips forward for Abreu to chase. Laursen is forced into conceding a corner - which Abreu gets a head to but it glances wide

Now Sand and Tomasson combine at the other end - a bright start - and Uruguay are forced into a scrambled clearance of their own

Now a long ball from Sorondo is beyond Silva and Sorensen collects.

Early threat from Dario Silva, hurriedly cleared by the Danes

The game kicks off in Ulsan - and this no longer a chase for second place in Group A
