Cornelius scores twice to secure fightback victory in France
Netherlands earn 4-1 win; Rangnick’s Austria defeat Croatia

Andreas Cornelius’s second-half double stunned France as Denmark won 2-1 at the Stade de France in their opening Nations League game. The Trabzonspor striker cancelled out Karim Benzema’s second-half opener for France with a neat 68th-minute finish and lashed in the winner with two minutes to go.

Denmark sit behind early group A1 leaders Austria, who opened their campaign with an impressive 3-0 win in Croatia in new head coach Ralf Rangnick’s first game in charge.
