== Kampens afslutning ==
Svenskerne havde sat [[Markus Rosenberg]] på banen mod slutningen, og i forbindelse med et af de efterhånden sjældne svenske besøg i det danske straffesparkfelt provokerede Rosenberg [[Christian Poulsen]], der reagerede ved at give Rosenberg et knytnæveslag i maven.<ref>{{cite news|last=Helmer |first=Jesper |title=Rosenberg: Jeg slog også Poulsen |work=[[Nyhedsavisen]] |language=da |date=2. juni 2007 |url=http://avisen.dk/rosenberg-slog-ogsaa-poulsen-020607.aspx |access-date=6. juni 2007 |quote=Rosenberg: We are in a tussle inside the [Danish penalty] area, pulling and pushing each other.
