Portugal becomes first team to reach UEFA Nations League quarterfinals
In short
Portugal became the first team to reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Nations League after winning its fourth group-stage match, according to Russian outlets. TASS said the opponent was Denmark, while Interfax reported a 2:1 win over Norway, leaving the opponent disputed.
Why it matters
The result makes Portugal the first side to secure a quarterfinal place in the competition, with the remaining group matches still to be played. The two Russian reports differ on who Portugal played, so the identity of the opponent is not established by the documents alone.
