Samara: Australia's hopes of advancing to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 suffered a blow when they could only manage a 1-1 with Denmark in a Group C tie at the Samara Arena on Thursday.
Bert van Marwijk's men travelled to Samara needing a win after their unfortunate 2-1 defeat to France in their opener.
Australia battled back impressively after Christian Eriksen's seventh-minute opener but were unable to find a way past Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel from open play despite dominating a pulsating second half.
Tottenham midfielder Eriksen, identified as the dangerman by Australia in the run-up to the game, showed sublime technique to finish after Nicolai Jorgensen's neat lay-off in the area.
Australia's response was impressive but with just one point from two games the Socceroos' chances of advancing in Russia now appear slim.
