Copenhagen, March 21, 2025 – The Europe Today: Denmark edged past Portugal with a narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final, thanks to a late goal from substitute Rasmus Højlund.
Højlund, who came off the bench, capitalized on a precise cross from Andreas Skov Olsen in the dying minutes of the match to secure the crucial win. His goal redeemed Denmark after Christian Eriksen missed a penalty earlier in the game.
The result gives Denmark a slender advantage heading into the decisive second leg in Lisbon, where Portugal will look to overturn the deficit and keep their Nations League hopes alive.
