Schick joined Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the scoring charts with his fifth goal of the tournament early in the second half in Baku.
Yet he will have no further opportunity to add to his tally, as a fantastic first-half performance, which included goals from Thomas Delaney and Kasper Dolberg, ensured Denmark reached the last four of a Euros for the first time since they won the 1992 edition.
Kasper Hjulmand s team, whose tally of 11 goals trails only fellow semi-finalists Spain, will face England next.
Approximately 1,500 Danish supporters were able to make the trip to Baku, and they were celebrating within five minutes.

Baku : , July 4 (IANS) Denmark advanced into the semifinals at Euro 2020 following a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic here to set up a clash with England at London s Wembley Stadium on July 7.
This was Denmark s first quarterfinal at the European Championship since 2004.

Diskussion Dänemark steht erstmals seit dem Triumph 1992 wieder im Halbfinale einer Fußball-Europameisterschaft. Bei der paneuropäischen Endrunde bezwangen die Nordländer im Viertelfinale am Samstag in Baku Tschechien mit 2:1 (2:0). Thomas Delaney (5.) und Kasper Dolberg (42.) erzielten die dänischen Treffer. Auf der Gegenseite war das fünfte Turniertor von Patrik Schick (49.) zu wenig. Um den Finaleinzug spielt Dänemark nun gegen den Sieger der Partie zwischen England und der Ukraine. Dänemark gelang mit dem Sieg eine späte Revanche für die 0:3-Niederlage gegen Tschechien im Viertelfinale der EURO 2004. Der dänische Teamchef Kasper Hjulmand nahm im Vergleich zum 4:0-Kantersieg gegen Wales im Achtelfinale keine Änderungen an seiner Anfangsformation vor. Obwohl Yussuf Poulsen wieder fit war, durfte Dolberg nach seinen beiden Treffern gegen die Waliser erneut von Beginn an spielen.

BAKU, July 3 (Xinhua) Denmark advanced into the semifinals at Euro 2020 following a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic here on Saturday. The team whose victory at the 1992 tournament was regarded as a miracle, will play either Ukraine or England at London s Wembley Stadium next Wednesday. This was Denmark s first quarterfinal at the European Championship since 2004, when they went down 3-0 against the Czechs, but they soon proved that the result just belonged to the past. Denmark opened the scoring five minutes after the start when Thomas Delaney headed home Jens Stryger s corner near the penalty spot.

Maybe it s wishful thinking, but if Denmark could pick a moment to remember from their Euro 2020 campaign, surely this would be near the top of the list.
Toe-poke, trivela, call it what you will – Joakim Maehle s outside-of-the-foot cross for the second goal against the Czech Republic was one of the finest pieces of skill seen at these finals.
With enough pace to elude defenders but not the arriving Kasper Dolberg, curling away from Czech heads and onto the striker s foot, it was impudent expertise of the highest order.
It was also entirely in keeping with Maehle s standard of performances at this tournament. This was no fluke or Hail Mary; this was calculated brilliance by a player at the top of his game.
