A bitter evening for Portugal!
The Portuguese suffered a heavy 1-4 home defeat against Denmark on matchday five of the Nations League.
Portugal disappointed in their first appearance following the retirement of Cristiano Ronaldo. Just before half-time, Denmark were awarded a penalty after a close-range handball by Ruben Dias.
Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg stepped up to take responsibility and put the Danes 1-0 ahead (43').
Höjlund fires Denmark to victory with a brace
Things did not improve for Portugal after the break, as former Sturm Graz striker Rasmus Höjlund doubled the Danish lead to 2-0 just five minutes into the second half.
Denmark were quick to add another shortly after, with Höjlund completing his brace via the inside of the post to make it 3-0 (57'). Joachim Andersen then put the game well out of reach (75').
Bernardo Silva at least managed a stoppage-time consolation goal from a rebound to seal the final 1-4 scoreline.
As a result, Portugal missed out on wrapping up early victory in the group. Nevertheless, their place in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals is already secure.
