Bernardo Silva scored Portugal’s only goal in their 4–1 defeat to Denmark in Braga, converting a rebound in the 93rd minute during a brief appearance from the bench:
With Denmark already four goals ahead, Bernardo’s finish came too late to influence the outcome, but spared Portugal a scoreless evening in front of their home supporters. He finished his 11-minute appearance
with nine touches, five completed passes and a goal.
Denmark took the lead late in the first half through a Hojbjerg penalty, awarded following a Dias handball. The visitors then extended their advantage after the break, with Hojlund scoring twice before Andersen added a fourth with a header.
Portugal had a narrow edge in possession, recording 51.5%, and registered eight shots on target to Denmark’s six. Those numbers offered little consolation, however, as the visitors turned their opportunities into a commanding lead. Denmark also finished with more attempts overall, taking 17 shots to Portugal’s 15.
Bernardo eventually provided a response during one of Portugal’s final attacks, reacting to a rebound to deny Denmark a clean sheet. His contribution was a small positive on an otherwise disappointing night for the hosts, whose late goal did little to soften a comprehensive defeat.
