Kasper was brilliant throughout the match as he saved Luka Modric’s penalty in the 116th minute and went on to save two more penalties during the shootout. Although Denmark lost the match, Kasper’s performance was praised by everyone including his own father.
Kasper looked visually distraught after the game as it was heartbreak for him and all his Danish team-mates.
Croatia will now take on Russia in the quarter-final on July 7th.
