"What Happened to You at the World Cup?" - Fans React to Portugal Star's Showing as Sececao Defeat Denmark 4-2 in Cristiano Ronaldo's Absence

Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence did not stop Portugal from extending its perfect start with goals from four different scorers.

  • On Thursday, Portugal defeated Denmark 4-2 at Parken, maintaining their 100 per cent start to the UEFA Nations League campaign in Group 4.
  • Cristiano Ronaldo left the squad this week following a fallout with coach Jorge Jesus, yet Portugal's attacking performance remained unaffected by the record goalscorer's absence.
  • Joao Cancelo opened the scoring in the 13th minute, with Goncalo Ramos and Vitinha adding further goals before Joao Felix sealed victory with a deflected strike in the 87th minute from Diogo Dalot's layoff.
  • Mikkel Damsgaard and Ramus Hojlund scored for Denmark, briefly equalizing during the match, but the hosts could not sustain momentum against Portugal's attacking intensity.
  • The defending Nations League champions hold a six-point lead atop Group 4, with Norway and Wales trailing as teams compete for quarter-finals and relegation playoff spots.
