Hjulmand on Sporting’s winner against Santa Clara for the first time | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand recently joined the Denmark national team camp, which is preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Scotland, and took the opportunity to recall the goal that decided the match between Santa Clara and Sporting, in the 11th round.

In statements to the Danish press, quoted by the portal Midtjyllandsavis, the midfielder admitted that the goal had a special meaning: “It was a very important goal. Of course, it gives you confidence when you score, even if it’s not my main role on a football pitch,” he began by explaining.

Rui Borges’ protégé confessed that he rarely has the chance to be decisive: “It’s a very special feeling to score a goal and it’s very rare for me to have scored a winning goal at the end. So, it was a very good experience. That’s also why I arrived at the national team camp with a smile after a goal and a victory,” he emphasized.

Asked about the goal, the player said he didn’t notice any refereeing error: “During the match, I didn’t notice if the play was judged correctly. I only saw that we had been awarded a corner and we ended up scoring from there,” he explained.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 17 matches: 11 in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 1,540 minutes he was on the pitch, the Lions’ captain scored two goals and provided one assist.
