Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund won plenty of hearts as he showed his caring side before scoring for Denmark against San Marino on Tuesday night. Hojlund broke the deadlock shortly before half-time as Denmark survived a major scare to register a narrow 2-1 victory, with San Marino hitting back after the interval.<\/p>\n
Hojlund produced a fine finish from a tight angle to put Denmark ahead before San Marino equalised when Alessandro Golinucci stabbed the ball home through a sea of bodies. The visitors were eventually able to steer clear of a huge upset by restoring their advantage through Yussuf Poulsen, who bagged the winning goal with 20 minutes left on the clock.<\/p>\n
Hojlund, meanwhile, was a threat in attack for Denmark and took his goal well but it was his actions before kick-off that had United supporters talking. The 20-year-old was caught on camera giving his jacket to his mascot during the national anthems in a heartwarming pre-match moment.<\/p>\n
The United striker went on to make a nuisance of himself throughout the game but found himself on the receiving end of a heavy tackle in the closing stages. He was kicked from behind by San Marino substitute Roberto Di Maio, which left him grimacing in pain before he was eventually replaced by Mathias Jensen in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
