Portugal secured their third win in three UEFA Nations League matches, beating Denmark 4-2 away from home. With Ronaldo having voluntarily given up his No. 7 jersey, Rafael Leão started the game instead. Portugal took the lead three separate times during the match. Forward Gonçalo Ramos and Danish midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard each scored once and assisted once, new captain Bruno Fernandes provided two assists, and PSG midfielder Vitinha headed in the winning goal.

Greece let slip a win over the Netherlands

Greece, who had previously beaten Serbia and Germany, led the Netherlands 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Fotis Ioannidis and Konstantinos Mavropanos (referred to as Masouras in the source), but surrendered the lead in the second half. Virgil van Dijk and Tijjani Reijnders, the latter in the 89th minute, levelled the score to 2-2.
