Africans let early lead slip and pay the ultimate price
The Group E result also guarantees Holland's progression to the knockout stages after they had secured their second win earlier on Saturday.
Paul Le Guen's African side took the lead inside 10 minutes in the Loftus Versfeld Stadium as Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o capitalised on a defensive error from the Danes.
Denmark refused to buckle, though, and were level before the break as Rommedahl produced a pinpoint cross for Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner to thump home.
Morten Olsen's side emerged as the better side after the break and were worthy of their lead when a fine individual goal from Rommedahl handed them the lead on 61 minutes.
They will now go head to head with Japan in Rustenburg on Thursday to determine who joins the Dutch in the last 16.
