However, the fierce  Danes managed to catch up during the second half of the game 21/12 .The opening  game seemed to be relatively  easy for the young Danish pair. The second one did not cause them much trouble either: with a fatal jugement indecision from the Malay pair,  this  first encounter between  the  four young players  ended  with 21/14 as the final score .
