BREAKING: Tribute To Cristiano Ronaldo Ends Disgrace As Denmark Humiliate Portugal In Braga
Denmark inflicted a 4-1 defeat on Portugal in Braga as Rasmus Hojlund scored twice.
The match started with a tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo, who had confirmed his retirement from international football.
Each Portugal player emerged in a No. 7 shirt, and all future players for the country wearing that number will do so in a new font.
Portugal had won each of their previous four Nations League matches, but they were unable to defend ably against an incisive Danish attack. When Hojlund headed against Ruben Dias’ hand in the penalty area, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg converted from the spot on 43 minutes.
Five minutes after the restart, Hojlund grabbed his first of the game with a smartly taken volley, and on 57 minutes his second came with a shot from the edge of the box.
Portugal were already out of the running when Joachim Andersen headed in with 15 minutes of normal time remaining, and Bernardo Silva’s injury time consolation goal meant little.
The home side remain top of the group, but they go to Wales on Tuesday evening with the game still live as they look for a quarter-final spot. Denmark host Norway where a win could conceivably see them top the group.
