SARANSK, Russia (Reuters) - Christian Eriksen was underwhelming in Denmark's World Cup opener against Peru apart from one moment of brilliance that led to the game's solitary goal, and the Danes need more from their inspirational playmaker to prolong their stay in Russia.

Eriksen was a raw teenager at his first World Cup in South Africa in 2010 and Denmark failed to qualify for the tournament in Brazil four years ago.
