Portugal – Norway 2-1

Portugal recorded their fourth consecutive victory in Group A4 of League A in the Nations League after coming from behind to beat Norway 2-1 at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto.

Norway took the lead through Kristoffer Ajer in the 36th minute, but João Cancelo restored parity just two minutes later. Gonçalo Ramos completed the comeback in the 79th minute to secure another three points for the reigning champions.

The victory gives Portugal a maximum 12 points from four matches and keeps them firmly at the top of the group. As the winners and runners-up from League A groups qualify for the quarter-finals, Portugal have now mathematically secured their place in the next round.

Norway remain on three points after suffering their third consecutive defeat following their opening win against Denmark.

Wales – Denmark 0-1

Denmark secured an important victory in Cardiff, beating Wales 1-0 in the other match in the group.

The only goal came from Rasmus Højlund, who converted a penalty in the 75th minute. It was Denmark's second victory over Wales in the current edition of the competition, after they also won the first meeting 2-0 on 27 September.

After four rounds, Portugal are clear leaders with 12 points, while Denmark sit second on six. Norway and Wales both have three points, leaving the battle between the two sides completely open with two rounds remaining.

On 14 November, Portugal will host Denmark, while Norway will welcome Wales.
