Hjulmand shines in Denmark's 3-0 rout, Sporting duo left disappointed | OneFootball

Denmark defeated Greece 3-0 this Monday, in a match for the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Morten Hjulmand was a starter for the Nordic side and one of the best on the field, while Georgios Vagiannidis was also a starting option for the Hellenic side. Fotis Ioannidis came on in the second half.

At the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, it was the visiting team that scored a beautifully executed goal by Mikkel Damsgaard, a player who has been linked with Sporting. The footballer dodged an opponent and fired hard into the back of Kostas Tzolakis' net.

In the second half, Greece tried to respond, but always with great difficulty. Brian Riemer's team played first-touch football and frequently supplied their forwards. At minute 62, it was Andreas Christensen who received the ball and then fired a missile for the 2-0.

The third came easily, with Rasmus Hojlund getting a taste of the goal, after the ball fell to his feet following a first shot at 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 participated in five matches. The captain of the green and whites has been a starter and played the full match in all encounters so far, having already managed to score a goal this early in the season.
