KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Denmark secured the first huge surprise of the European Championship with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands on Saturday in Group B. Michael Krohn-Dehli that provided the finishing touch that the Dutch inexplicably lacked. Krohn-Dehli scored against the run of play when he picked up a loose ball close to the penalty area in the 24th minute, left two defenders standing and shot through the legs of Maarten Stekelenburg from a tight angle. It was something Premier League top scorer Robin van Persie never got close to as he came to symbolize Dutch futility with a couple of bad mistakes. Denmark goalkeeper Stephan Andersen made several clutch saves to secure the most important Danish victory over the Netherlands since the Euro 1992 semifinals.
