Hjulmand’s Denmark win 3-1, Sporting duo miss out on 2026 World Cup 🇩🇰 | OneFootball

Denmark beat Greece (3-1) in a match counting for the fourth round of 2026 World Cup qualifying. A game that included three Sporting players on the call-up list and spelled failure for the Greeks in their bid to play in next year’s World Cup.

On the Nordic side, Morten Hjulmand (who has an offer to leave) started. As for the Hellenic team, Fotis Ioannidis was in the starting lineup, unlike Georgios Vagiannidis, who did not come off the bench. The pair of new signings for the Alvalade club thus see their chances of appearing at the World Cup dashed.

Rasmus Hojlund, a forward loaned by Man United, from Ruben Amorim, to Napoli, remains in hot form and opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Joachim Andersen, Fulham’s defender, under Marco Silva, doubled the lead to two goals in the 40th minute.

One minute after 2-0, Victor Froholdt set up Mikkel Damsgaard’s goal. The teams went into the break with Denmark leading 3-0. In the second half, Greece still managed to reduce the deficit. Christos Tzolis, assisted by Ioannidis, made it 3-1.

With this result, Denmark share top spot in the group with Scotland, both on ten points, and ensure at least a place in the qualification play-off. Greece, meanwhile, are third with three points. Belarus are bottom with zero points.
