They had to come from behind after the visitors - who lost Erling Haaland to a suspected injury - took a 36th-minute lead. Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer controlled Martin Odegaard's cross on his chest before hitting a sweet half-volley into the top corner from the edge of the box. But two minutes later Joao Cancelo smashed home a stunning shot on the bounce from a similar distance from Nuno Mendes' long throw-in. Haaland went close for Norway - soon before he beckoned to the bench to be replaced in the 67th minute. But it was Ramos who settled the game, stabbing in from close range from Joao Felix's lay-off with 11 minutes left. Portugal ended with 10 men after Francisco Conceicao was sent off in the 87th minute for two quickfire bookings for dissent. It was their third game in a row without Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, after the country's record scorer left the camp last week after being dropped. Boss Jesus has said he plans to discuss the matter some time after this game.
