Nyland’s Costly Howler Changes The Game
With Norway pushing forward, Nyland received possession near his penalty area but produced a poor pass that went straight to Ramos.
The Portugal forward needed just a moment to recognise the opportunity. He collected the loose ball, took it forward and calmly lifted his finish over the stranded goalkeeper and into the net.

Nyland’s error overshadowed what had been a competitive contest at Ullevaal Stadion, where both teams had created dangerous opportunities.
Haaland Equalises, But Norway Slip Again
Portugal had gone in front during the first half through Joao Felix. The forward finished neatly from the edge of the box after Pedro Neto’s cutback, giving the visitors a 1-0 advantage.
Norway responded with increasing pressure before the break. Haaland came close on multiple occasions, but Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa repeatedly denied the Manchester City striker.
Haaland finally found his way onto the scoresheet shortly after the interval. A Martin Odegaard free-kick created the opening, with Patrick Berg heading the ball across goal for Haaland to convert and restore parity.
For a brief moment, Norway looked to have completed their comeback.
Instead, Nyland’s costly distribution error gave Portugal another opening, and Ramos made sure it counted.
The result handed Portugal back-to-back Nations League victories and strengthened their position at the top of their group, while Norway were left to rue a mistake that ultimately decided the match.
