Ronaldo sinks Danes in injury time

Important points dropped ahead of tough Serbia game

The road to the 2016 European Championships in France is looking a lot tougher for the Danes after they lost 0-1 to Portugal tonight in Group I.

A Cristiano Ronaldo header deep into stoppage time sent all three points to Portugal much to the disappointment of a packed Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

Tonight's loss combined with Saturday's draw in Albania still leaves Denmark top of the group with four points, the same as Albania and a point above Portugal, who both have a game in hand. Up next for the Danes is a tough away fixture in Serbia.

Under-21 joy in Iceland
The evening's other Group I match between Serbia and Albania was abandoned at 0-0 after a drone carrying an Albanian flag flew into the stadium in Belgrade. After a Serb player pulled it down, the crowd stormed the pitch.

There was better news for the under-21 national team who managed to qualify for the 2015 European Championships in Czech republic next summer after drawing 1-1 with Iceland in Reykjavik in the playoff round.

After drawing 0-0 in Copenhagen on Friday, the result meant that Denmark progressed by virtue of away goals. Nicolai Thomsen scored the goal for the Danish young guns.
