Denmark beat Greece 3-0 this Monday, in a match for the second round of qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Morten Hjulmand started for the Nordic team and was one of the best on the pitch, while Georgios Vagiannidis was also in the starting lineup for the Greek side. Fotis Ioannidis came on in the second half.

At the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, it was the visiting team that scored first with a beautiful goal by Mikkel Damsgaard, a player who has already been linked to Sporting. The footballer got past a defender and fired a powerful shot into the back of Kostas Tzolakis’s net.

In the second half, Greece tried to respond, but always with great difficulty. Brian Riemer’s team played with quick one-touch football, constantly supplying their most advanced players. In the 62nd minute, Andreas Christensen received the ball and then fired a missile for the 2-0.

The third came easily, with Rasmus Hojlund finding the back of the net, after the ball fell to his feet following an initial shot that hit the post. Denmark now has four points and leads Group C. Greece is in third place, with three points.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in five matches. The captain of the green and whites has started and played every minute so far, having already scored a goal at the start of the season.
