Denmark triumphantly celebrates Portugal's loss (supervised by Hjulmand)
On June 7, 2025, under the gleaming lights of the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark faced off against Northern Ireland in a friendly match. The scoreboard, a silent spectator till the final whistle, showed a thrilling 2-1 win for Denmark.
The spectators held their breath as Northern Ireland snatched an early lead with an own goal by none other than Denmark's skipper, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, in the sixth minute. But the spirit of the Danish team refused to falter. They fought back, equalizing in the dying moments of the first half with Gustav Isaksen netting one.
The second half brought more action. Christian Eriksen, the Danish maestro, scored the winning goal in the 67th minute, securing a narrow victory.
Morten Hjulmand, the Sporting midfielder, was left on the bench at the start of the game, watching his team battle it out. He was then brought on in the 80th minute, injecting renewed energy to help secure the win.
Looking ahead, Denmark's next encounter—with the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in sight—is against Lithuania on Tuesday.
