Denmark edged fellow World Cup finalists Panama 1-0 on Thursday in a friendly international, three months out from the finals in Russia where they will tackle Australia and France.

Pione Sisto grabbed the only goal of the game in Copenhagen after 69 minutes.

Denmark are in Group C at the World Cup alongside 1998 winners France, reigning Asian champions Australia and Peru.

Panama, who had striker Blas Perez sent-off on Thursday, will be in Group G and will face England, Belgium and Tunisia.
