Rasmus Hojlund cheekily performs Cristiano Ronaldo's 'Siu' celebration in front of Portugal star after scoring for Denmark in Nations League clash

The Manchester United forward scored the game's only goal in the 78th minute as Denmark won the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final tie 1-0 at home to Portugal on Thursday night. Just after putting the Danes ahead, Hojlund did Ronaldo's iconic celebration with the 40-year-old looking on close by.

Denmark have put themselves in a strong position to reach the last four of the Nations League following their win in their home country. But they face a huge task to progress when they face Ronaldo's Portugal in their own backyard on Sunday.

Hojlund's Denmark came second in their group, behind unbeaten Spain, to reach the last eight of the Nations League whereas Portugal topped their group.

Denmark will hope their slender first leg advantage will be enough to see them reach the Nations League semi-finals ahead of their trip to Portugal on Sunday.
