Just when it seemed like Denmark might pull off a stunning upset, Francisco Trincão delivered a stunning finish from the edge of the box in the 86th minute, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Then, in extra time, he struck again in the 91st minute, solidifying Portugal’s lead. Finally, Gonçalo Ramos sealed the victory in the 115th minute, converting a beautiful assist from Diogo Jota.
Before the match, there was also a special moment as Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva was honored for earning his 100th cap for Portugal. What an achievement for such a talented midfielder!
