Match overview
Needing a handsome victory, Denmark patiently probed until Brian Laudrup headed the opener five minutes after the break. Nielsen’s fine drive and a second Laudrup goal secured a flattering scoreline, yet Portugal’s simultaneous win meant the holders bowed out despite their best display.
Trivia
Turkey completed the tournament without a point or a goal, a fate shared only by Yugoslavia (1984) and Denmark twenty-eight years earlier. Brian Laudrup’s brace drew him level with Michael as Denmark’s top Euro scorer.
