Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal and missed a penalty as Portugal defeated Denmark in an exciting match to qualify for the Nations League semi-finals.

The game ended 3-3 on aggregate in regular time, forcing extra time. Just seconds into the extra period, Francisco Trincão put Portugal ahead after Kasper Schmeichel saved a shot from Gonçalo Ramos. Ramos later sealed the win with another goal five minutes before the final whistle.

The match was full of drama from the start. Denmark's Patrick Dorgu fouled Ronaldo in the penalty area, giving Portugal an early chance to score.

However, Schmeichel made a great save to deny Ronaldo. Despite this, Portugal kept pushing and took the lead seven minutes before halftime when Denmark’s Joachim Andersen accidentally headed Bruno Fernandes’ corner into his own net.

Ronaldo had a goal ruled out for offside just before halftime, and Denmark equalized through Rasmus Kristensen's header, putting them back in control of the tie.

In the second half, Ronaldo put Portugal ahead again in the 72nd minute, scoring from close range after Fernandes' shot was saved. But Denmark quickly responded, with Christian Eriksen finishing a cross from Dorgu just four minutes later.

With only four minutes left in regular time, Trincão scored with a powerful shot to make it 3-2, forcing extra time. Early in extra time, he struck again, extending Portugal’s lead. Later, Ramos finished off a pass from Diogo Jota to secure a 5-3 win for Portugal on aggregate.

Before the match, Bernardo Silva was honored for earning his 100th cap for Portugal.

Portugal will now face Germany in the semi-finals after Julian Nagelsmann’s side beat Italy 5-4 on aggregate. Meanwhile, Denmark will shift their focus to their World Cup qualifying matches, starting with a game against Scotland.
