"It was the worst game ever."

Roberto Martinez (52), who leads Portugal, a soccer powerhouse, lamented.

Portugal lost 0-1 to Denmark in the first leg of the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League (UNL) quarterfinals on the 21st (Korea time).




Portugal actually played a rough game in the match, being blocked by Denmark's intense pressure and failing to create such an opportunity. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Rasmus Hoylun, a substitute striker, scored the winning goal and knelt down.

Martinez, who used a large number of key players playing for prestigious European clubs but could not create an opportunity at all, shook his head, saying, `The worst game.'

He "I think it was the worst game in a long time. Denmark was superior to us in every way. We showed a lethargic side, and Denmark played as they had expected."We couldn't control the ball properly. There are many things that need to be improved. The performance we showed didn't reach the level we expected at all," he said, acknowledging the complete defeat.
