Patrik Schick pulled one back for the Czech Republic as he guided in from Vladimír Coufal’s neat cross to become only the ninth player to net five times in a EURO final tournament.
Hjulmand while speaking to euro2020.com said his team gave all in the game even when ‘batteries were almost empty.
“It’s magical. The first thing I showed the boys when we met was a picture of Wembley, when we were there in the autumn. 
“I said that we were going to come back. 
“It was like we were playing in a Danish stadium because our dedicated fans came to support us in Baku. We’re deeply thankful.”
 
 “It wasn’t pretty today, but there was fight and a fantastic keeper. 
“The batteries were almost empty, but to reach a UEFA EURO semi-final is huge.”

Denmark will face England who defeated Ukraine 4-0 in the last quarter final game played.
