Ramos hits late winner as Portugal beat Norway

Goncalo Ramos scored the decisive goal as Portugal triumphed over Norway in a UEFA Nations League match, completing a perfect record of four wins in four games under manager Jorge Jesus. Norway had taken the lead in the 36th minute through Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer, who controlled Martin Odegaard's cross before slotting it into the top corner.

However, just two minutes later, Joao Cancelo equalized with a stunning shot from a similar distance following a long throw-in from Nuno Mendes. Portugal secured the win with eleven minutes remaining when Ramos netted from close range off a lay-off from Joao Felix. Norway had a moment of hope when Erling Haaland was substituted in the 67th minute, but it was Ramos who ultimately settled the game.

Portugal played the match with ten men after Francisco Conceicao was sent off in the 87th minute for two quick-fire bookings for dissent. This is the third straight defeat for Portugal without Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the team last week after being dropped. Manager Jesus plans to discuss Ronaldo's absence at a later date. With two games remaining in Group A4, Portugal now leads the group by six points over second-placed Denmark, who defeated Wales 1-0, while Norway suffered its third consecutive loss.
