  "account": "On Sunday, Portugal secured a 2-1 victory over Norway in a UEFA Nations League match at Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo, marking their successful start to their title defense. Coach Jorge Jesus opted to field Goncalo Ramos in place of Cristiano Ronaldo, who substituted in later. Ramos scored the decisive goal in the 71st minute, showcasing his 12th international goal and highlighting his industrious performance. Ronaldo, the World Cup quarter-finalist Norway struggled to convert their early chances, notably missing a volley from Erling Haaland. Despite a close call from Haaland, Portugal's keeper Diogo Costa managed to block the shot. Norway's goalkeeper Orjan Nyland saved a penalty and overshot an opportunity from Haaland's header in the second half. Portugal maintained their lead until the end, with Rafael Leao's effort hitting the crossbar and a VAR ruling dismissing another goal attempt from Ramos due to offside.",
