KASPER SCHMEICHEL’S heroics went for nothing when he was beaten by a deflected shot in Denmark’s 1-0 loss in their UEFA Nations clash against Spain in Murcia.
The Celtic keeper had twice denied Alvarez Morata before the European champions claimed the winner 11 minutes from time.
Schmeichel was taken off guard as a drive from outside the box by Martin Zubimendi took a deflection off a Danish defender to elude the netminder low down at his left-hand post.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY…Kasper Schmeichel is beaten by Spain’s defelcted winner.
The Hoops shotstopper had also been distrated in the build-up as he applealed for a foul by Mikle Merino on Victor Nelsson before the ball fell to the Real Sociedad midfielder who got lucky when his first-time effort struck an opponents’ heel on its way into the net.
It was a cruel way for Schmeichel and his team-mates to lose after a commendable rearguard action throughout the second-half with the hosts eager to put on a show for their fans.
