Norway 3-1 Wales: Erling Haaland on target in Nations League win
BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- Wales' chances of staying in the top tier of the Nations League are in jeopardy after a 3-2 defeat to Norway in Oslo, with Norway scoring twice in the second half before Wales' David Brooks scored a consolation goal.
- Norway's Antonio Nusa opened the scoring after an hour, followed by a goal from Andreas Schjelderup, assisted by Erling Haaland, who later sealed the win with a penalty.
- Despite Wales' strong first-half performance and creating better chances, they remain bottom of Group A4 and cannot overtake Norway or Denmark due to an inferior head-to-head record.
- Wales are likely to face a relegation play-off against a League B team in March, and this result also means they will not be top seeds for Euro 2028 qualifying.
- Manager Craig Bellamy had pledged an all-out effort, and while Wales showed promise, they remain without an away victory against higher-ranked teams since 2012.
