Bruno Fernandes Celebrates Too Early as Cristiano Ronaldo Misses Penalty in Portugal's Nations League Win Over Denmark

Bruno Fernandes appeared to celebrate before Cristiano Ronaldo had even taken his penalty during Portugal’s UEFA Nations League clash with Denmark. The incident occurred in the quarter-final second leg when Portugal was awarded a penalty after Ronaldo was fouled by Denmark’s Patrick Dorgu.

As Ronaldo prepared to take the spot-kick, Fernandes raised his arms in apparent anticipation of a goal. However, Ronaldo's penalty attempt was saved by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, leading to a moment of visible disappointment for Fernandes, who placed his hands on his head in reaction to the miss.

Despite the setback, Portugal managed to secure a 5-2 victory after extra time, overturning a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and advancing to the semi-finals with a 5-3 aggregate score. Ronaldo redeemed his earlier miss by scoring a crucial goal in the second half, contributing to Portugal's progression in the tournament.
