## Wales lose 2-0
Denmark defeated Wales 2-0 in Nations League Group A4 at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

> Wales wilted in Copenhagen as a 2-0 defeat to Denmark left them bottom of their Nations League group with no points or goals from their first two games.
## Bellamy's reaction
Wales manager Craig Bellamy said his team is 'really hurting' after two losses.

> I'm really hurting. When you see an athletic team run over you a little bit … but then, will we improve? I think we will.
## Wales' struggles
Wales lost their opener to Portugal 1-0 and now face relegation after this defeat.

> Wales lost Thursday’s opener to Portugal 1-0 and Sunday’s result leaves them already facing an uphill battle to avoid relegation from Group A4.
## Denmark's dominance
Denmark scored two goals to secure a 2-0 win over Wales in the Nations League.

> After a first half in which Wales were very much second-best and fortunate to reach the break level, Denmark’s domination was rewarded by a Ben Davies own goal and a Gustav Isaksen strike in the second period.
## Key changes
Wales made six changes to their squad for this Nations League match.

> Bellamy had happy memories of the Parken Stadium when as a 19-year-old he had scored the Wales winner in a Euro 2000 qualifier. Bellamy had promised to make changes given the short turnaround of fixtures and, in the event, made six with Charlie Savage’s surprise promotion the most notable switch.
## Next matches
Wales face Norway and Denmark in their next two Nations League fixtures.

> It does not get any easier for Wales with a visit from Erling Haaland’s Norway on Thursday, before a return date against Denmark in Cardiff.
