The perfect start for Jannik Vestergaard at the European U21s! The Danish U21s, including the Werder star, won their opening game of the tournament 2-1 against hosts, the Czech Republic. Vestergaard made a big contribution in the 56th minute when he headed in the equaliser for Denmark to bring them back into the game.

"It's nice to have scored and also to have won the game, because this is quite an important win for us. We really played well second half," said Vestergaard to werder.de. As captain the central defender leads his country's U21s and delivered a captain's performance. Vestergaard and co. play their second group game on Saturday 20th June against Germany, with the game starting at 20:45 CEST.
