BBC

Substitute Silvestre Varela's late thunderbolt boosted Portugal's hopes of reaching the Euro 2012 last-eight.

A brace from Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner looked set to leave Paulo Bento's men facing an uphill task to advance from Group B, reports the BBC.

Pepe's thumping near-post header put Portugal ahead, before Helder Postiga smashed in a close-range volley.

Denmark, knowing victory would put them on the brink of a quarter-final place, fought back with two Bendtner headers.
