Support Scroll. Denmark became the second team to qualify for the World Cup finals when they beat Austria by a single goal on Tuesday as England were frustrated by Hungary at Wembley.
Joakim Maehle scored in the 53rd minute to send the Danes to Qatar as they build on their surprise run at Euro this summer when they reached the semi-finals.
With the age and quality we have, we will only keep growing. The Danes join Germany, who qualified on Monday, in the finals.
Host nation Qatar qualify automatically. Ronaldo stayed one goal away from becoming the all-time men's top scorer in international soccer. He is tied with former Iran striker Ali Daei at goals. Belgium played most of the second half without Kevin De Bruyne, who had to be substituted after being tackled from behind.
Portugal had several good chances to equalize late in the match, including a header by Ruben Dias saved by Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and a shot by Raphael Guerreiro that hit the post. While Portugal's run for a second consecutive European title ended, Belgium stayed on track to finally lift a major trophy for the first time. The Belgians lost in the European Championship final in and finished third three years ago at the World Cup for their best finish at that tournament.
The top-ranked Red Devils have won all four matches so far at Euro and won all 10 qualifiers for the tournament. The team is unbeaten in 13 consecutive matches in all competitions, since a loss to England last year in the Nations League. Tomas Holes and Patrik Schick scored second-half goals to take the Czech Republic into the Euro quarter-finals as they took advantage of a red card for the Netherlands to upset their more fancied opponents and win in Budapest on Sunday.
Holes powered home a 68th-minute opener after being set up by Tomas Kalas, as the Dutch watched on hopelessly in their own penalty area. Schick made sure of the Czechs' surprise success with a close-range finish 10 minutes from fulltime, in front of a capacity crowd that provided a deafening wall of noise at the Puskas Arena for most of an absorbing last contest.
It was a calamitous outcome for the Dutch, who imploded after Matthijs de Ligt was sent off for a cynical handball 10 minutes into the second half, and they will now face some serious soul searching. De Ligt was sent off after a VAR review by Russian referee Sergei Karasev after punching away the ball as he tumbled to the ground in a tussle with Schick. Contrasting fortunes for Ireland and Scotland: Understrength Scotland have been dismal in Copenhagen, while the Republic of Ireland have ridden their luck at times to go in at half-time a goal to the good in Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo missed an early penalty for the Portuguese before Diogo Jota hit the woodwork, but it was John Egan who scored the only goal of the half to put the Irish ahead. Aaron Connolly has given Ronaldo and chums plenty to think about and should have scored shortly before the break.
Saw the Scotland team and opted to remain on the golf course. Appears one of my better decisions. Portugal Rep of Ireland: Diogo Jota goes close twice in quick succession in first half added time.
Bazunu saves at the foot of the post, then Jota sends a shot flashing wide of the other upright. Updated at 8. Ireland take the lead! John Egan makes an excellent near post run to glance home a header from a corner. Ronaldo went unsanctioned but might consider himself lucky to have escaped a red card. Well done to him.
