Back at Benfica, Bah is closer to the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Alexander Bah took an important step towards qualifying for the World Cup. Last Thursday, 26 March, the Benfica right-back started for the Denmark national team, alongside two names well known in Portuguese football, as they thrashed North Macedonia 4-0.

In addition to Bah, who recently returned to Benfica’s options, the Danish side also featured Morten Hjulmand and Victor Frøholdt, midfielders for Sporting and Porto, respectively. Despite it being a straightforward match on paper, the Nordics struggled.

Playing at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, the Danish team put the opposition under heavy pressure, but due to their approach, North Macedonia managed to contain Denmark’s attack, sitting deep and using the counter-attack as their weapon.

However, the Macedonian strategy worked for the first 45 minutes before collapsing in the second half. Right in the opening minutes, Damsgaard sent the crowd wild by making it 1-0. In just two minutes, Denmark made it 3-0, with Isaksen scoring twice. Before the final whistle, Nørgaard made it 4-0.

Alexander Bah, together with his Denmark teammates, is now closer to securing a place in the world tournament.
