Denmark has pulverized all opponents they have faced so far in the World Championship.

But in the semifinal against Portugal, they at least had to fight for a while.

The teams followed each other closely for a long time in the first half, and the Danes seemed to experience a nail-biter for the first time during the championship.

But that was not the case. At halftime, Denmark had taken a four-goal lead, and then coach Nikolaj Jacobsen's men are almost impossible to catch.

In the second half, Denmark extended to the superior final result of 40–27. The win was Denmark's 36th consecutive in World Championship contexts.

Thus, the country is clear for the final again, and has the chance to grab its fourth consecutive World Championship gold and extend its gold streak. Only Denmark has managed to take three consecutive World Championship golds on the men's side, and now there is a chance for a fourth.

The final opponent will be Croatia, and the match will be played on Sunday.
