Froholdt shines as Denmark thrash Belarus | OneFootball

Denmark confirmed their status as favorites and defeated Belarus 6-0 in the third round of Group C qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. FC Porto midfielder Victor Froholdt stood out by scoring a goal and providing an assist, extending his excellent form at Dragão.

Coach Brian Riemer started Froholdt and Morten Hjulmand (Sporting) in the starting eleven, and the duo, who represent Portuguese clubs, were crucial for the team's solid performance. In the 14th minute, Froholdt opened the scoring, netting his first goal for the senior team with a first-time shot after a quick play. Shortly after, he shone again by assisting Rasmus Hojlund for the 2-0.

The forward, on loan at Napoli from Manchester United, is also in a positive phase and scored twice by the 45th minute, in a play assisted by Dorgu, a former teammate at Old Trafford. In injury time of the first half, roles were reversed: Hojlund returned the favor with an assist, and Dorgu made it 4-0.

At halftime, Brian Riemer made several changes, including substituting Froholdt for Christian Eriksen, but the Danish dominance continued. In the second half, Dreyer sealed the rout by scoring twice, in the 66th and 78th minutes, setting the score at 6-0.

In the other group match, Scotland defeated Greece 3-1 after being behind. Tsimikas put the Greeks ahead in the 62nd minute, but Christie (64′) and Lewis Ferguson (80′) turned it around before Dykes (90+3′) confirmed the victory.

Greece, which started with Vagiannidis and brought on Ioannidis as a substitute, wasted several chances, including an unbelievable miss by Pavlidis, Benfica's forward, who shot wide with an open goal.

With these results, Denmark and Scotland share the group lead with seven points, while Greece has three and Belarus remains without points.
