Jorge Jesus steers Portugal to group lead as Norway stumble in Oslo
Portugal kept a perfect record in the Nations League on Sunday as Jorge Jesus’s side edged Norway 1‑0 at the Estádio Ullevaal in Oslo. João Félix opened the scoring early, while Gonçalo Ramos added the winner after Erling Haaland’s late equaliser.
Com the opening minutes, left‑back Nuno Mendes surged forward, linked with Pedro Neto on the left flank and delivered the ball into the box. João Félix, arriving at the edge of the area, finished cleanly into Nyland’s corner at the 17th minute, giving PORTUGAL the lead.
The second half began with Noruega pressing. Odegaard’s free‑kick was saved poorly by Diogo Costa, and Berg’s header fell to Erling Haaland, who tapped the ball into an empty net at the 6th minute, reducing the deficit for NORUEGA.
Just three minutes later, Noruega’s celebration was cut short. Nyland mishandled a simple pass from Diogo Costa, allowing Gonçalo Ramos to slot home from close range at the 9th minute. The goal was later ruled out for offside, preserving the 1‑0 scoreline.
