The superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates in Portugal could only watch. When the Danes finally decided at home on Parken in Copenhagen, Manchester United star Rasmus Højlund decided with a classy goal.

The ball went like on a string in the 78th minute. A won heading duel and five passes later, substitute Højlund could easily roll in the only goal of the quarterfinal match in the Nations League.

Attack star Cristiano Ronaldo may play in the Saudi league now, but he started at the top for his Portugal. However, neither Ronaldo nor his teammates came close to the level on away ground.

Denmark dominated greatly and the victory could have been greater. In the middle of the first half, Christian Eriksen, for example, missed a penalty.

Other quarterfinals: Netherlands–Spain 2–2, Italy–Germany 1–2, and Croatia–France 2–0.

The return matches are played on Sunday.
