The Portuguese team hosts Denmark in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals. After two matches, the teams were unable to determine the stronger side, leading to extra time.
Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty at the very start of the match but made amends in the second half by scoring his 929th career goal.
The star Portuguese player reacted first to a rebound off the post from Bruno Fernandes' shot and made the score 2-1 in favor of his team. For the opponents, Eriksen scored a goal and provided an assist, but Trincão managed to score in the final minutes to level the aggregate score.
Notably, Ronaldo left the field in the 90+2 minute, meaning he could not further improve his scoring tally.
