UEFA Nations League round-up: Greece stun Germany while Portugal beat Norway without Ronaldo.

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE RESULTS: Portugal defeat Norway as Greece stun Germany

The UEFA Nations League provided a night of thrilling matches and political tension across Europe. On Sunday, Greece stunned Jurgen Klopp's Germany with a surprising 1-0 victory, while Portugal secured a 2-1 win over Norway without their star player Cristiano Ronaldo. In Ireland's match against Israel in Hungary, the players wore black armbands in protest against the war in Gaza, adding a somber tone to their 3-0 victory.

Portugal's coach, Jorge Jesus, dropped Ronaldo and rewarded his replacement, Goncalo Ramos, with the winning goal. Germany's Jurgen Klopp had to wait for his first win as he was outplayed by Greece's deflected second-half strike. In Oslo, Portugal took the lead through Joao Felix, only for Erling Haaland to equalize for Norway. Portugal struck back, and Orjan Nyland's error gifted Goncalo Ramos the decisive goal.
