This time, Portugal seeks to recover from their defeat in the first face-off. They were heavily tipped to win against the Danes but fell short for some reason. Ronaldo and co. seemed to play in slow motion, providing little to no threat towards the opposition’s goal. What does it say about them that, in spite of losing, goalkeeper Diogo Costa was awarded man of the match?
Having lost in the earlier encounter, one would think Portugal is in trouble, but they are always strong at home. With the depth and talent in their squad, Portugal can afford to be among the favorites in every competition which is of high importance.
Denmark edged out an important win in the first match 1-0 with Rasmus Højlund scoring the only goal. We will possibly never know how the game would have gone, had Christian Eriksen not missed a penalty mid-way through the first half. The Danes had a significantly higher number of total shots (23) than the Portuguese (8) as well as on target (9 to 2). By the time Portugal finally scored, they were pushing more to get the goals and were more active.
With just 0.8 goals given up per match, Denmark is showing reliable defense in their play. The team has a decent balance between their attacking and defensive play which enables them to score confidently in crucial matches. The goal for the Danes in the upcoming match is ensure they keep their lead as they progress further into the tournament.
