Portugal’s second Nations League group match in Oslo turned on João Félix’s contribution, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s evening ended after 68 minutes and with a goal ruled out by VAR for offside.
Portugal find their decisive moment in Oslo
- Norway hosted Portugal at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo on 27 September, with kick-off scheduled for 20:45.
- The fixture formed part of matchday two of the Nations League group stage.
- João Félix scored Portugal’s goal in the Norwegian capital.
- Cristiano Ronaldo had an effort disallowed following a VAR review, with the decision made for offside.
- Ronaldo’s involvement lasted 68 minutes before he left the pitch.
For Portugal, the night was shaped less by their captain than by Félix, whose goal supplied the key attacking return. Ronaldo was denied a place on the scoresheet by the offside call, underlining the fine margins that can alter an international fixture as quickly as a European tie.
