João Cancelo opened the scoring in the 13th minute, only for Mikkel Damsgaard to equalize for Denmark. Portugal regained the lead through Gonçalo Ramos before Denmark’s Rasmus Højlund leveled the score at 2-2 early in the second half.
The turning point came when Vitinha scored his first international goal with a header, putting Portugal back in control. João Félix added a late goal to secure Portugal’s third consecutive victory, keeping them unbeaten and at the top of their Nations League group.

In the same group, the Netherlands managed to claw back from a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw with Greece. Goals from Fotis Ioannidis and Giorgos Masouras initially put Greece ahead.

The results highlight a dynamic day in the Nations League, with Portugal asserting their dominance in their group and Germany finding early success under Klopp’s leadership. The Netherlands’ comeback demonstrated their resilience, contributing to an exciting round of matches. As the competition progresses, teams continue to vie for the top spots in their respective groups.
