Even Ronaldo took his hands to his head. Portugal falls with bang and is swung

Fhi a nightmare night for the national colors. Portugal fell with a bang in the League of Nations and lost the invincibility in this group A4, after listing a cupious win at the reception to Denmark, by 1-4, which leaves everything open in the discussion for classification.

At Braga Municipal Stadium, the team of quinas hardly even saw themselves in the field and ended up being defeated fruit of the goals scored by Hojbjerg, Rasmus Hojlund, who bisou, and Joachim Andersen. The new Captain Bernardo Silva closed the accounts. In the first game without Cristiano Ronaldo, the former captain must not have been satisfied with the display of the countrymen. 

Portugal maintains the first place on the table, but it fails to confirm this position immediately, and may even lose it to the Danes if there is defeat in Wales on Tuesday and the Nordics win Norway.

Game movie:

The Braga Municipal Stadium served as the stage for the first game of the national team without Cristiano Ronaldo, which represented the national colors for 23 years and resigned the team of the quinas before this call for the double day of November. As a way of honoring the former captain, the 11th cast by Jorge Jesus climbed the lawn with a sweater with number 7 on his back.

And speaking of the initial team, Jorge Jesus promoted some surprises. The coach made four changes to the last game, the 2–1 victory against Norway in the Dragon. The injured Nuno Mendes (was not summoned) and the punished João Cancelo and Francisco Conceição (was not summoned), besides João Palhinha. Alberto Costa, Dalot, Reuben Neves and Pedro Neto entered, and the portist side was the first newcomer of the 'was Jesus' in Portugal and soon with a title.

The class of the quinas got better into the game, but it was Denmark the most dangerous selection in the Municipality of Braga. Portugal has always had many difficulties in imposing the game style that Jorge Jesus wants and the Nordics have created more danger with the Portuguese goal. The Danish formation found many spaces on the back of the Portuguese defensive, which always pressed high, and threatened Diogo Costa on a couple of occasions.

Just at minute 6, and following a cross to the second pole, the medium of the Atlético Madrid Morten Hjulland headed next to the target. Instants later, and at minute 7, number belonging to Cristiano Ronaldo, there was a mix of applause and apupos in the stands of the Braga Municipal Stadium. It existed until he screamed for Messi.

Shortly after, at 11′, Daramy took the ball and entered the area, but at the time of the shot was disarmed by central Luso Reuben Dias. At 18 minutes, and after a freeman, Benfiquist Bah appeared in Diogo Costa's face, then tried to cross, but Renato Veiga walked away. The Nordics were more pressing and even put the ball at the bottom of the Portuguese nets at the 37th minute. Still, Damsgaard was out of play right at the start of the play, and the bid was cancelled.

What he did tell us was a lack in the Portuguese area on the edge of the interval. In a thing that counted on Hojlund's head, the ball hits Reuben Dias' hand. Rade Obrenovic, after reviewing the VAR bid, pointed to the mark of great penalty. Diogo Costa still guessed the side, but Captain Hojbjerg marked the maximum punishment for the first night.

Nightmare continued for the second half

Portugal was more required in the second half, not only by leaving for this meeting as a clear favourite, but also by counting on four victories in other games. But Denmark was not playing games and scored two more goals in Braga, confirming the nightmare night for national colors.

Five minutes later in the second half and Portugal was suffering again. Damsgaard worked well in the Portuguese area, which showed tremendous defensive passivity, and found Rasmus Hojlund completely alone to the second pole that shot from first to bottom of the nets. Napoli's advance would start again at 57 minutes. He won Renato Veiga position, pulled the Portuguese central from the front and shot the encore in the match.

Jorge Jesus made three changes of a sitting shortly after this, launching in the field Carlos Forbs, Francisco Trincão and João Palhinha. However, Portugal continued not to be able to connect the game and ended up scoring the attempt of the goal. Following a free charge by Mathias Jensen, Joachim Andersen jumped higher than anyone else to confirm the night horriblis of the Portuguese in Braga.

Portugal was still in search of the goal of honor, which arrived even in the last breath. Following a first shot by João Neves, the ball remained for Bernardo Silva's feet, which finished for the 4-1. The goal was also evaluated by the VAR before being validated.

This, which was Portugal's worst defeat at home in official games, leaves everything open with regard to the leadership of group A4. Portugal has already secured a place in the final rooms, but the first place was not guaranteed. The top of the group will decide on the sixth and final journey, with only one point for the Portuguese not to depend on the result of the Danes. However, a loss in Wales can throw the selection to second.

Portugal, which had won the first four games with selection Jorge Jesus, leads with 12 points, three more than Denmark, while Norway has six and Wales three. On Tuesday, and at the close of this phase of groups, the team of quinas faces the Welsh selection, in game scheduled for Cardiff.

Game time: The goal the Danes scored at the start of the second half ended up dictated much of what happened from then on.
