Sorba Thomas’ reaction
Via the BBC, Hull’s Thomas said: “We are down as a team. We felt we were in the game. They had the proper chances and they took them. We need to be more clinical, we need to start punishing teams when we're on top, that's what they did.
“I would have loved for my shot to go in, maybe the game could have been different. But we had more chances after that and didn't score. We've got to learn from that.
“Thankfully we've got two games at home still to come. We'll have home advantage so we need to show a reaction.
“We are just going to get better, we are a small nation but we've got big hearts and beliefs and for us it's about showing that more on the pitch.”
Wales will now return to home turf to host Norway before being reunited with Denmark.
Ethan Ampadu reflects
Ampadu, who lined up in midfield alongside Reading’s Charlie Savage, conceded Wales did not create enough opportunities in Copenhagen.
He told Match of the Day Wales: “It was a disappointing night for us. We played against a good team away from home, it was always going to be difficult in Group A.
“We didn't really put in our levels in, we gave it everything we could but I think we could've been tidier on the ball. We didn't create enough to score.
“We pride ourselves on being difficult to beat at set pieces, we work so hard on it and today we just didn't defend them well enough and it's something to work on and make sure it doesn't happen again.”
