Rasmus Hojlund scored the winner for Denmark against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and rubbed it in the face of the former Manchester United man by hitting his trademark celebration. The two countries met in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final on Thursday night, with Hojlund ensuring the Danes head into Sunday’s fixture carrying a slender advantage.
Hojlund had gone three months without scoring before finding the net for United against Leicester City last weekend. He has now scored twice in two games, latching onto Andreas Skov Olsen’s ball across the box and firing into the bottom corner with his right foot in the 78th minute.
Ronaldo started up front for Portugal and he was still on the pitch to watch Hojlund wheel away and hit the ‘Siu’ celebration, with some of the Danish fans joining in. His strike proved crucial as Denmark held on to set up a mouth-watering second leg.
