Portugal demonstrated their dominance in the Nations League by securing a 4-2 victory over Denmark in Copenhagen, maintaining their unbeaten record in the group stage. Despite the absence of star player Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal showcased a strong performance with João Cancelo opening the scoring in the 13th minute. Denmark’s Mikkel Damsgaard briefly leveled the match, but Portugal quickly regained the lead through Gonçalo Ramos.

Denmark’s Rasmus Højlund managed to equalize early in the second half, bringing the score to 2-2. However, Vitinha restored Portugal’s advantage with his first international goal, a well-placed header, and João Félix sealed the win with a late fourth goal. This victory ensures Portugal remains at the top of their Nations League group.

In Group A2, Jürgen Klopp achieved his first win as Germany’s coach with a 2-0 triumph over Serbia in Munich. The match saw Tom Bischof net his first senior international goal, followed by Florian Wirtz extending the lead in the second half, contributing to a high-energy performance from the German side.

Elsewhere in the group, the Netherlands managed to come from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Greece. Despite Greece taking a two-goal lead with efforts from Fotis Ioannidis and Giorgos Masouras, the Dutch team fought back. Virgil van Dijk narrowed the deficit before Tijjani Reijnders scored the equalizer in the 89th minute, earning the Netherlands a valuable point.
