Portugal played without Cristiano Ronaldo, who had left the camp a day earlier, according to ESPN. Ramos led the attack, assisting the opener before scoring their second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal start quickly in Copenhagen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portugal threatened early. Ramos created the 13th-minute breakthrough for Cancelo, who advanced into the area and finished past Mads Hermansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denmark responded ten minutes later. Joakim M\u00e6hle found Damsgaard near the area, and the midfielder guided a composed finish beyond Diogo Costa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parity lasted two minutes. Ramos exchanged passes with Bruno Fernandes, continued his run and finished the return ball. Portugal led 2-1 at half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hermansen saved from R\u00faben Neves and Ramos before the interval, preventing Portugal from extending their lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denmark introduced Gustav Isaksen at half-time and responded urgently. In the 53rd minute, Damsgaard released H\u00f8jlund on a counterattack, and the striker\u2019s left-footed finish made it 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal retained control. Fernandes continued finding gaps, while Ramos occupied Denmark\u2019s central defenders. In the 67th minute, Fernandes delivered, and Vitinha headed into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denmark responded through Damsgaard and Isaksen, but lacked Portugal\u2019s accuracy. Hermansen remained busy as the visitors introduced fresh pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00e9lix entered in the 81st minute and scored six minutes later from Diogo Dalot\u2019s assist, finishing into the top corner and ending Denmark\u2019s resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denmark\u2019s 54% possession and 527 passes did not produce sustained danger. Portugal recorded seven more attempts, seven more shots on target and five more big chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hermansen\u2019s six saves prevented a wider defeat. Diogo Costa made only one, highlighting Denmark\u2019s limited accuracy. Portugal were more direct when Fernandes, Ramos and the full-backs connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramos and Fernandes shape the contest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ramos produced a goal and assist, linking with midfield and attacking space behind Denmark. His combination with Fernandes for the second goal captured Portugal\u2019s speed and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fernandes assisted Ramos, supplied Vitinha\u2019s header and repeatedly created shooting opportunities. Vitinha added midfield control before scoring the decisive third goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damsgaard scored Denmark\u2019s first equaliser and assisted H\u00f8jlund\u2019s second, yet the hosts protected neither recovery. H\u00f8jlund offered direct running but received few other clear chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the result means for Group A4<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portugal lead Group A4 with nine points after beating Wales<\/a>, Norway and Denmark. They are six clear of Denmark, Norway<\/a> and Wales, who each have three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal next host Norway on Sunday, 4 October, while Denmark visit Wales. Another Portuguese win would strengthen their control, while Denmark require a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it means for Ugandan supporters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 9:45 p.m. EAT kick-off let Ugandan viewers watch familiar European-league players. Fernandes, Cancelo, Le\u00e3o, H\u00f8jlund and Damsgaard brought recognisable club storylines to a six-goal international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match also illustrated that possession alone does not decide results. Portugal had less of the ball but created clearer chances. Their quick combinations and movement after passing offered useful examples for local coaches and young players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday\u2019s next Group A4 games also give Ugandan audiences a direct comparison between the section\u2019s four teams. Portugal face Norway\u2019s Erling Haaland, while Denmark must react against a Wales side encouraged by its 2-1 win over Norway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both fixtures should again fall within the evening viewing window in Uganda. Supporters should confirm local broadcast listings and line-ups close to kick-off, because schedules, player availability and market information can change during a busy international calendar for many clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denmark equalised twice, but Portugal\u2019s chance creation and finishing separated the teams. Ramos and Fernandes drove the attack, Vitinha restored the lead, and F\u00e9lix completed the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal\u2019s third win confirmed their Group A4 authority. Denmark passed well, but conceding ten shots on target exposes a problem before facing Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
