Denmark replaced Wales at the top of Group I after edging their Euro 2025 Under-21 Championship qualifier at Rodney Parade in Newport.
The visitors led early when Tobias Bech fired low past Ed Beach, before Luke Harris, Charlie Savage and Joe Taylor went close for Wales.
Oliver Nielsen headed in a late corner to double the lead after the break.
Cian Ashford poked home a last-gasp consolation after Filip Jorgensen parried Rubin Colwill’s free-kick.
