🤯 CR7 on the bench? Ramos decisive: Norway KO, Germany lose to Greece ⛔ After two years, Cristiano Ronaldo starts on the bench for Portugal (the last time was on September 8, 2024, in the Nations League), and Goncalo Ramos scores the decisive goal: Norway beaten 2-1 . On a Nations League night, the defeat of Germany (at home) against Greece also makes headlines: 1-0 thanks to Kourbelis. Joao Felix, Haaland and Nyland’s blunders! In the first half, Norway controls possession , has more shots, but both teams waste chances through Neves and Haaland. The one who does not miss is Joao Felix: a shot from the edge of the box into the bottom corner and his second consecutive goal after the winner against Wales. Also decisive was a Diogo Costa save that denied Haaland a goal with a header: a stop worth 0.85 xGOT. In the second half the pattern stays the same and Norway equalize : Odegaard free-kick, Diogo Costa does not fully deal with it, and Berg sets up Haaland, who makes it 1-1 from close range. Then begin Nyland’s blunders (he had already made the mistake that cost Norway elimination from the World Cup), as he gifts the ball to G. Ramos near midfield: the Milan striker makes it 2-1 with a lob. The same G. Ramos then misses a close-range volleyed tap-in and later has another goal ruled out for a marginal offside, taking advantage of another Nyland mistake coming off his line. Klopp’s Germany lose: Greece win 1-0 Klopp’s Germany misfire and lose 1-0 to Greece at the WWK Arena in Augsburg: it is the Greeks’ first-ever win against Germany . The Germans dominate, try to press high, and waste several chances, especially because of Tzolakis’ saves across both halves. In the second half, Jovanovic’s team come close through Ioannidis in the 66th minute and then score the winning goal in the 74th through Kourbelis: a shot decisively deflected by Kimmich that wrong-foots Nubel. It is a poor start for Germany after the 1-1 against the Netherlands, in which, however, the Oranje had plenty of chances late in the game to find the winner.
