Ref was shit, lot of calls did not get made.

The ref allowed a lot. There were also some free kicks made by the Danish defenders he did not give.

The San Marino players did not do brutal attacks. It was more constant like jabs concentrated on Højbjerg. Later in the match he also contributed because he was annoyed. He shushed them. Which was not classy. Or popular. He does not normally do these things though…

Looking at the number of fouls in isolation can't tell you much. What was there nature of the fouls? Did San Marino commit fouls that went unpunished by the referee?

What reason do Danes have to make this up about San Marino of all teams?

The worst one the refs missed was Højlund getting intentionally hit in the head in the penalty area, which should have been a red and a sending off, but VAR didn't intervene because the REF waved it off.

Other than that there were several attempted kicks at Højlund that wasn't called, in one instance he was kicked 3 times befor finally getting a freekick because the ball was lost.

In all honesty it started because Højlund hit a defender with his elbow and fell on him afterwards, which seemed to make San Marino's players see red. It didn't look intentional, but things turned ugly after that, and that was around the 30 minute mark.

For reference Eriksen argued with the San Marino players several times, Kjær too, and those are probably some of the calmest player I've ever seen in football, especially Eriksen. I don't think I've ever seen him argue this much with opponents.
