ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Finland made it to the finals of a major tournament for the first time at Euro 2020 and even managed to win their first against Denmark, but they lacked the firepower to mount a serious challenge to the best teams in Europe.

The Finns finished third in Group B with three points, but it wasn't enough for them to go through to the knockout stages.
