Portuguese forward Silvestre Varela (L) celebrates with teammates after scoring the winner
Portugal beat Denmark 3-2 in a thrilling Euro 2012 clash, with a last-gasp winner to resurrect their hopes of reaching the competition's knock-out stages on Wednesday.
Substitute Silvestre
Varela blasted home three minutes from time to give the beaten Euro 2004 finalists the points after they had let a 2-0 lead slip to a battling Danish side.
Real Madrid defender Pepe opened the Selecao's account with a header from a corner at Stephan Andersen's right-hand near-post, while Helder Postiga made it two with a deft flick on the opposite side.
Nicklas Bendtner got Morten Olsen's Danes back on terms and the Scandinavians looked set for a hard-fought point after a series of glaring misses by Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The win puts Portugal level on three points with Denmark.
