After Cristiano Ronaldo left the training camp angry on Wednesday, Portugal was able to regain its smile this Thursday with goals and a 4-2 victory on their trip to Denmark, where they continued their perfect run in this Nations League.
The echoes of CR7's walkout while his teammates trained the day before at Parken Stadion in Copenhagen were still resonating loudly, but Gonçalo Ramos and Bruno Fernandes responded as the new leaders of a team still in shock.

Ramos issued a warning in the 13th minute by hitting the post, and moments later he played a key role in the first Portuguese goal, when João Cancelo stole the ball and led a counterattack, relying on Ramos himself, who returned the ball as an assist for his teammate to beat Mads Hermansen.
Denmark regained hope with a superb shot from the edge of the area by Mikkel Damsgaard in the 23rd minute, but Ramos cooled the home crowd's spirits again in the 25th, taking advantage of a pass from Bruno Fernandes to go one-on-one against the Nordic goalkeeper and beat him low.
Rasmus Hojland equalized the match again in the 53rd minute and celebrated with a signature Cristiano Ronaldo-style celebration, but Portugal took the lead once more in the 67th minute, with a cross from Fernandes that Vitinha headed into the net to make it 3-2 for his side.
The fourth and final goal was scored in the 87th minute by João Félix, who had entered the game just six minutes earlier and killed any suspense by taking advantage of a cutback pass provided by his teammate Diogo Dalot.
With a perfect record of three wins, Portugal firmly commands their A4 group in this European tournament.
