In front of him, Rasmus Hojlund mimicked Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration after scoring the game-winning goal for Denmark against Portugal. Hojlund said, “I played against my idol and scored and was the match-winner.” The writing couldn’t have been more perfect. Germany defeated Italy, and Spain drew with the Netherlands.
Rasmus Hojlund performed Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal celebration after scoring the winner for Denmark against Portugal in the Nations League on Thursday.
Hojlund came off the bench to net the winner in his side’s 1-0 Nations League quarter-final first-leg victory at Parken Stadium.
The Manchester United striker struck in the 78th minute to help spare the blushes of Christian Eriksen, whose first-half penalty was saved.

“It was fantastic, it was a great day in many ways,” said Hojlund about the goal and celebration.
“I played against my idol and scored and was the match winner. It couldn’t have been written much better.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes, Hojlund’s captain at Old Trafford but playing on the opposite side to the forward in Portugal colours, said: “We weren’t surprised, we knew they were aggressive and that they would come out strong.
