A headed goal in injury time by Cristiano Ronaldo gave Portugal a much-needed 1-0 win over Denmark in their Group I Euro 2016 qualifier.

Ronaldo rose to meet Ricardo Quaresma’s cross and bury his header past Kasper Schmeichel to secure all three points after the referee, Felix Brych, played five minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game.

Denmark’s best chance came when Pierre Hojbjerg muscled his way through and fed Christian Eriksen, who teed up Michael Krohn-Dehli to fire in a shot that came back off the far post.

Ronaldo’s goal lifts Portugal off the bottom of the table and into third place in the five-team group on three points. Denmark remain second, level on four points with the leaders, Albania.
