Denmark 2:1 Belarus
Switzerland 2:0 Iceland
Nicolai Jørgensen kept the host nation in the competition tonight with a 71st minute winner after Christian Eriksen's penalty had equalised Dmiti Baga's opener for Belarus.
A sell-out crowd in Aarhus revelled in the Bayer Leverkusen winger's moment of magic which leaves the Danes in joint second in Group A with one game to play.
Switzerland look increasingly the team to beat having despatched much-fancied Iceland 2-0 in Aalborg. The Swiss lead their group by three points and need only one more to ensure passage to the semi-finals, while Iceland, many people's pre-tournament tips, are all but eliminated after a second successive defeat.

Switzerland 6pts, Denmark & Belarus 3pts, Iceland 0pts
Sat 18th - Iceland v Denmark, Switzerland v Belarus (both 20:45)
Group B
