COPENHAGEN: Portugal put the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to one side as they edged Denmark 4-2 in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday.
Joao Felix made the win safe late in the second half after the hosts had twice fought back to level.
With the pre-match build-up dominated by five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo's sudden departure from the team's training camp on Wednesday, coach Jorge Jesus said before kick-off that he just wanted his side "to focus on the match."
His team showed no signs of being distracted by the furore caused by the 41-year-old's walk-out after Jesus announced Ronaldo would not start the match against Denmark.
"A victory of the highest quality; this Portugal team scored four goals and put in a performance which, in my opinion, was of a very high standard," Jesus told his post-match press conference.
