Denmark 1-0 Portugal: Rasmus Højlund Scores, hits the ‘Siuu’ Right in front of Ronaldo

“Cristiano is everything to me. I fell in love with football because of Cristiano. I became a United fan because of Cristiano. I started doing push-ups before bed because of Cristiano.”

Safe to say, Rasmus Højlund is a CR7 disciple, and what better way to pay tribute to your idol than by scoring against his team and hitting the ‘Siuu’ right in front of him?

Denmark’s new golden boy came off the bench, missed a sitter, then immediately redeemed himself with a clinical finish in the 78th minute, securing a 1-0 win over Portugal in the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final. To make the moment even better? He celebrated like Ronaldo, not in mockery, but in pure, unfiltered fanboy love.

Portugal looked lost, Denmark took advantage

Despite having Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and a squad full of talent, Portugal barely threatened Denmark’s defense. Christian Eriksen had a penalty saved, a shot cleared off the line, and a free-kick denied, but it didn’t matter. Højlund’s winner stole the show.

As for Ronaldo? His most memorable contribution to the match was a missed header and the moment he had to watch a lifelong fan celebrate at his expense. Tough night.

Let’s not forget, just a week ago, Højlund ended a 21-game goal drought with a strike against Leicester. Now, back-to-back goals for club and country, and suddenly, he’s Denmark’s savior. Narratives in football change fast.

Denmark will now head to Lisbon for the second leg full of confidence. Portugal? They better wake up before it's too late.
