One look at Jannik Vestergaard’s face was enough to understand the importance that a single goal can sometimes have in football. The Danish centre-back ran to scorer Christian Eriksen with a grin on his face in the 47th minute, just after the 3-2 draw in a friendly against the Netherlands; together with his teammates he hugged Eriksen and then lovingly patted the back of his head. With the stadium in Amsterdam shaking in the background, Dutch centre-back Matthijs de Ligt later said he had “goosebumps” – despite just conceding a goal.
