In a game that Zlatko Dalic’s Croatia were desperate for a result in to aid their Nations League aspirations, Josko Gvardiol’s all-important finish, which cancelled out Portugal’s opener in the first half – courtesy of Joao Felix – saw them secure passage to the quarter-finals. The contest finished 1-1 in Split.
Without players like Diogo Costa, Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Dias, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Martinez and his group formed a team.
In addition to providing defensive reinforcements when Portugal was at their weakest, Diogo Dalot’s timely passes gave him an offensive presence.
Serbia finished third in Group A4, while Denmark left Stadion Dubocica in Leskovac with a spot in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals after a rematch of their goalless draw at EURO 2024.
As they fought for firepower, the visitors’ closest chance to ending Denmark’s 11-month losing streak abroad was a Christian Eriksen shot that bobbed wide.
In this match Hojlund was on the bench and Eriksen played the whole match.
Eriksen still had a good match with 3 long balls, 1 dribbles, 4/7 duels won but Hojlund was almost invisible after coming on from the 70th minute with 16 Touches and only won 1/5 duels
