Match overview
Early Portuguese dominance produced goals from Pepe and Postiga, but Bendtner’s brace hauled Denmark level. Supersub Varela slammed home an 87-minute winner to keep Portugal’s quarter-final hopes alive.
Trivia
Bendtner scored in a fifth successive game versus Portugal. Portugal became the first Euro side to have two different defenders (Pepe, Coentrão) provide assists in the same match since 2000.
