A Portugal side featuring Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos beat Denmark 5-2 after extra time in the second leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final at Lisbon’s Estádio José Alvalade last night.
Thanks to Mendes providing an assist and Ramos notching up not only an assist but also a goal, Portugal booked their place among the competition's final four despite losing 1-0 in the first leg in Copenhagen last Thursday. In the semi-finals, A Seleção das Quinas will take on Germany at 20:45 CET on Wednesday 4th June in Munich.
