Quote:..... if you say that they played a very offensive match etc. so you could see they didn't go for the 2-2, how would to teams make a 2-2 otherwise? (I mean without it looking like a fraud)?

Denmark dominated the game and was attacking most of the time. Sweden used the chances they got. Denmark had several chances to score the 3:1, especially with distance shots.
If the score is 2:1 and you want to achieve a cheated 2:2, you just don't play like that. You don't keep attacking 'with full force'. You hold the ball in the midfield, then in an appropriate situation one of your players commits a 'stupidity' that grants the opposing team a penalty, then you hold the ball in the midfield again until minute 93 ;)

If the game was a fraud, with the way Denmark kept attacking, their would have been the risk of scoring a goal accidentaly.

It is also how the teams played on the individual level. There were relatively many hard one on one fights that contained a risk of getting hurt, which is something professional football players tend to avoid like the plague - a career is easily ruined by a severe injury.
