Scandinavian sides dominate Nations League with victories
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 23:31 · Archive
Denmark, Sweden and Norway all won in the Nations League, with Denmark defeating Portugal 4-1.
Scandinavian teams secured victories across multiple Nations League matches. Denmark defeated Portugal 4-1 at home in Portugal's first game following Cristiano Ronaldo's international retirement. The 41-year-old announced his retirement last week, and his former teammates wore Ronaldo No.7 jerseys before kickoff. Despite tributes to the retiring superstar, Portugal's display disappointed home fans who whistled throughout. Denmark captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg opened the scoring with a penalty after Ruben Dias was punished for handball. Rasmus Hojlund added two goals, and Joachim Andersen scored with a header to make it 4-0 by the 75th minute. Bernardo Silva scored in stoppage time for Portugal's only response.
In Sweden, Viktor Gyokeres converted two penalties after Daniel Svensson had opened the scoring, giving Sweden a 3-0 halftime lead over Bosnia-Herzegovina near Stockholm. Armin Gigovic and Sead Kolasinac pulled goals back for Bosnia-Herzegovina, but Sweden held on to clinch top spot in their group. Romania completed the Scandinavian-led weekend with a 2-1 win over Poland in Bucharest, their first victory of the campaign.
