Summary Man Utd star performance on national duty: Hojlund is invisible; Eriksen’s effort is not enough

In a game that Zlatko Dalic’s Croatia were desperate for a result in to aid their Nations League aspirations, Josko Gvardiol’s all-important finish, which cancelled out Portugal’s opener in the first half – courtesy of Joao Felix – saw them secure passage to the quarter-finals. The contest finished 1-1 in Split.

Roberto Martinez and his entourage fielded a team without the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Dias and Diogo Costa

Diogo Dalot is sub and provided reinforcements in defence with Portugal’s backs against the wall, while also handing an attacking presence with his timely passing.

Serbia finished third in Group A4, while Denmark left Stadion Dubocica in Leskovac with a spot in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals after a rematch of their goalless draw at EURO 2024.

As they fought for firepower, the visitors’ closest chance to ending Denmark’s 11-month losing streak abroad was a Christian Eriksen shot that bobbed wide.

In this match Hojlund was on the bench and Eriksen played the whole match.

Eriksen still had a good match with 3 long balls, 1 dribbles, 4/7 duels won but Hojlund was almost invisible after coming on from the 70th minute with 16 Touches and only won 1/5 duels
