Portugal secured their place in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals by defeating Norway 2-1. Goncalo Ramos scored the winning goal for Jorge Jesus's side, after Joao Cancelo equalized Kristoffer Ajer's opener for Norway. The victory came despite the absence of superstar striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who walked out on the squad before the previous game against Denmark after learning he would not start. Francisco Conceicao was sent off for Portugal with two yellow cards late in the match. Norway's Erling Haaland also featured in the game. Portugal, the current holders, are now guaranteed a top-two finish in Group A4, ensuring their passage to the last eight in March 2027. This marks their fourth win in four group games.
