This was the first defeat for Coach Jorge Jesus at the helm of Portugal, as well as the deepest loss of this home representative in official matches.
The Danishs have launched the meeting better and have repeatedly endangered the local gate. The first goal came at the end of the first part, when Pierre-Emille Hoybjerg scored from the white penalty point following the intervention of the VAR system for a hand touch of Reuben Dia.
At the beginning of the second part, Denmark has doubled its supremacy. Rasmussen Hoyleund’s been volley after a pass by Mikkel Damsgaard.
Striker Hoyleund has achieved the second personal goal at this meeting in the 50th minute, bringing the score to 3:0. That was his fifth goal in just as many matches in the League of Nations.
Denmark has not stopped. Joachim Andersen scored the fourth goal with his head after a standard blow, sealing the convincing victory of guests.
Portugal has managed to score only one goal, through Bernardo Silva, who has benefited from the ball turned after a blow of Joao Neves.
Despite defeat, Portugal has already provided the qualifications in the final phase of the League of Nations, but to complete the group in its first place, it will need positive results from Wales.
On the other hand, Denmark remains in second place and has three points more than the following before the last match against Norway, which could be crucial to the group’s fate.
