On March 14, 2007 Morten Olsen selected 22 players for the match, including possible debutant midfielders Simon Poulsen and Leon Andreasen.[3] Four days later, midfielder Michael Silberbauer was also called up to the squad.[4] Two days before kick-off, Per Nielsen had to leave the training camp at Marbella with a minor back injury.[5]

[edit] Germany vs. Denmark
On March 28, 2007, Denmark played a friendly match against Germany at MSV Arena in Duisburg, Germany. The match ended with a 1-0 win for Denmark. There were two changes in the Danish starting line-up, compared to the match against Spain: Brian Priske replaced Niclas Jensen in the defense and Nicklas Bendtner replaced Martin Jørgensen.
The Danish team consisted of the squad from the preceding match against Spain, with the addition of possible debutant defender Kristian Bak Nielsen. Bak Nielsen had been named a replacement for Per Nielsen as soon as the injury occured, but was not a part of the squad against Spain.[5] Martin Jørgensen did not travel with the team from Spain to Duisburg, as his wife gave birth to a daughter on March 24.[7]
Prior to the match, Danish coach Morten Olsen had expressed his dismay at the Germans' decision to withdraw a number of first team regulars, who had played Germany's previous qualification match against the Czech Republic.[8][9][10]
The game commenced at 20.00 CEST on March 27 with Denmark dominant for the majority of the match, and had a lot of big chances. The single goal of the match came 10 minutes before the end. Nicklas Bendtner was the man by the goal on a counter attack, assisted by Jesper Grønkjær. Morten Olsen used all his 6 subtitutions during the game - 4 of them at half time. A few minutes before the goal, Simon Poulsen got his debut after replacing Dennis Rommedahl.[11]
