COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - With their qualification for the World Cup finals, Denmark showed they have continued to rise in the wake of Christian Eriksen's heart attack and the near-tragedy has not derailed their impressive development under coach Kasper Hjulmand.

Denmark booked their spot at next year's tournament in Qatar with a 1-0 victory over Austria on Tuesday that left them seven points clear of second-placed Scotland at the summit of Group F and their progress is all the more remarkable given what happened in June.
