Ramos fires holders Portugal to Nations League win in Norway
Striker Goncalo Ramos showed his quality with an industrious display in the 2-1 victory after starting in place of 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal's Goncalo Ramos netted the game-winning goal as the national team claimed a 2-1 victory over Norway in a Nations League match at Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo on Sunday. The 41-year-old Ronaldo was substituted in place of Cristiano Ronaldo and did not feature in the match. Ramos, who scored his 12th international goal, demonstrated his value to the team with a strong performance.
Norway, a World Cup quarter-finalist, struggled to capitalize on their early 3-2 win over Denmark and failed to build on a missed opportunity by Erling Haaland. The Norwegian strike force saw a chance come close to resulting in a goal when Haaland was denied by a deflection, and they were again thwarted by Costa's save. Despite a late fight, Norway could not find another equalizer.
