Title holders Portugal continued their flawless run in the Nations League, securing a 2-1 victory over Norway on Sunday. This win not only guaranteed their spot in the March quarter-finals but also shifted attention from Cristiano Ronaldo's recent exit from the squad.

Erling Haaland, a key player for Norway and Manchester City, raised concerns after he requested a substitution in the 67th minute due to injury, limping off the pitch.

Despite the victory, Portugal faced a setback when Francisco Conceicao received a red card just four minutes from time for a cynical thumbs-up gesture after being shown a yellow card.

Key highlights from the match include:

• Goncalo Ramos scored the decisive goal in the 79th minute, ensuring Portugal finished in the top two of Group A4, six points ahead of second-placed Denmark.
• Norway initially took the lead in the 36th minute with a goal from Kristoffer Ajer, who delivered a stunning half-volley from the edge of the box.
• Portugal equalized just two minutes later through a powerful strike from Joao Cancelo.

In other matches, Denmark edged out Wales 1-0, while the Netherlands climbed to the top of Group A2 with a 2-1 win over Serbia. Germany struggled to break down Greece, ending in a goalless draw.

As Portugal continues to thrive without Ronaldo, questions arise about Norway's future with Haaland's injury looming large.
