🎥 Jorge Jesus was right? Portugal book knockout spot after stunners | OneFootball

The current UEFA Nations League champions have shown that the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo is still not affecting them on the pitch. 

And they have already secured a place in the quarter-finals of this edition.

Portugal maintained their 100% record when they faced Norway in Porto.

They fell behind, but secured a 2-1 win to confirm their place in the knockout stage this Sunday (4) after four rounds. 

With another goal from Gonçalo Ramos. 

The day of League A clashes also brought another German slip-up, and they would not be advancing at this point. 

Check out the highlights from the 3:45pm matches (Brasília time) below. 

🇵🇹 Portugal 2 x 1 Norway 🇳🇴

Portugal were the better side in the first half.

Then the towering Ajer showed he has talent.

After a free-kick delivery, the Brentford center-back scored a stunner, leaving even his teammates stunned (35').

The problem for the visitors was that Portugal's response did not take long.

Throw-in taken, plenty of space, and a brilliant first-time finish from João Cancelo (39'). 

Haaland only got his first real scoring chance at 60'. But he finished poorly after being set up by Berg. He was eventually substituted in the 69th minute without managing to stand out.

Portugal looked more capable on the ball.

And they found the winner after João Félix received it from Vitinha and teed up Gonçalo Ramos perfectly (79').

It was the third straight goal for the No. 9, CR7's replacement. 

Portugal were reduced to ten men late on after Maurizio Mariani decided that Francisco Conceição had dived to win a penalty.

The Juventus forward was shown a yellow card, sarcastically gave a thumbs-up, and was then sent off.

The Seleção das Quinas moved up to 12 points. Haaland & Co. remain on three.

A result that took his national team to six points.

They are in second place. Wales have three

🇳🇱 Netherlands 2 x 1 Serbia 🇷🇸

Koopmeiners put the home side ahead with a free-kick that went through everyone (30').

Serbia's response came soon after, in the 35th minute, with Mihajlo Cvetkovic in the air.

It was the first goal for the 19-year-old for his national team. 

But the win would belong to Xavi's men.

Having failed to make a difference since arriving at United, Zirkzee only had to tap in almost on the line (72').

The Netherlands moved to eight points. They lead because they have scored more goals than Greece.

Serbia, meanwhile, remain pointless.

🇬🇷 Greece 0 x 0 Germany 🇩🇪

Germany totally dominated the first half.

They even scored through Burkardt, but there was a handball by Bischof at the start of the move.

Klopp's men pushed even harder after the break.

But they were unsuccessful.

Germany moved to five points. They are currently in third place and still have yet to impress in this cycle.

At this point, they would be heading into a playoff to avoid relegation from the league. 

League B

🇮🇪 Ireland 1 x 1 Israel 🇮🇱

The rematch after the controversial match hosted by Israel in Hungary ended in a draw.

Parrott took his Nations League tally to four goals by converting a penalty in the 39th minute.

But Dor Peretz (47') secured Israel's first point.

The Group 3 standings are: Austria (eight), Kosovo (five), Ireland (four), and Israel (one).
