It was Portugal’s first defeat of the group – but they had already made sure of a quarter-final place.

What it means for Wales

Craig Bellamy’s side are bottom of the group on three points, after Norway beat them 3-1 earlier on Saturday. Denmark are well placed to finish second.

Wales finish their group at home to Portugal on Tuesday, while Denmark host Norway. The team that finishes bottom of a League A group faces relegation to League B.
