Nations League: Ronaldo unused as Portugal beat Norway 2-1

In a thrilling Nations League match, Portugal defeated Norway 2-1. Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of the team, did not play as a substitute, but his absence was not a hindrance to Portugal's victory. João Félix put Portugal ahead in the early stages, netting his second goal in consecutive games. Erling Haaland equalized for Norway with his 65th goal for his country, tying the score shortly before halftime.

Haaland surpassed his previous record with 22 goals in the Nations League. However, Norway's lead was short-lived as a mistake by Norway's goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland allowed Gonçalo Ramos to score and secure Portugal's victory. Ramos' goal marked a significant comeback for Portugal. Despite several close calls, Portugal held on to win.

The match was another win for Portugal in their two-game start to the current Nations League season. Norway, on the other hand, reflected on the impact of their goalkeeper's errors. The victory boosts Portugal's campaign, while Norway now needs to address their defensive vulnerabilities.
