Portugal maintained their flawless campaign in the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League with a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Norway at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto. The visitors stunned the hosts in the 36th minute when defender Kristoffer Ajer rose highest to meet a precise delivery from captain Martin Ødegaard, giving Norway a surprise lead. However, just two minutes later, João Cancelo equalized following sharp build-up play down the left flank by Nuno Mendes. After dominating possession in second half, Portugal finally broke down a stubborn Norwegian defense in the 79th minute. Gonçalo Ramos finished off a neat sequence set up by João Félix to secure the go-ahead goal.  The closing stages grew tense when Portugal substitute Francisco Conceição was shown a second yellow card in the 86th minute, reducing the hosts to ten men. Despite late pressure from Erling Haaland and the visitors, Portugal's backline held firm to claim all three points and preserve their perfect run in Group A4.

Greece and Germany played out a tense, hard-fought 0-0 draw at the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki during Matchday 4 of the League A Group 2 of 2026–27 UEFA Nations League. Building on their shock 1-0 victory over Die Mannschaft in Augsburg just a week prior, the Greek side put on a defensive masterclass. Germany dominated large stretches of possession and peppered the box, but struggled to find a clinical edge. The visitors thought they had broken the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Jonathan Burkardt found the net, but the goal was overturned following a VAR review.  As the game wore on, Greece's backline—anchored brilliantly by Manolis Saliakas and standout center-back Konstantinos Mavropanos—absorbed wave after wave of pressure. Goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis also came up big when called upon, ensuring clean sheets remained intact. The stalemate keeps Greece at the summit of Group A2 with seven points from four matches, while Germany sits in third with four points.
