Haaland Scores as Norway Condemn Wales to Bottom Spot
- Norway defeated Wales 3-1 in Oslo, with Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa, and Andreas Schjelderup scoring to secure a Nations League victory that confirms Wales will finish at the bottom of Group A4.
- After a goalless first half where Wales created better chances, Nusa broke the deadlock by drilling in from the penalty area after an hour; nine minutes later, Haaland combined with Nusa to set up Schjelderup for a second goal.
- Substitute David Brooks halved the deficit 11 minutes from time with a delicate chip, but Connor Roberts fouled Schjelderup, allowing Haaland to convert a penalty that sealed the 3-1 scoreline.
- Manager Craig Bellamy's side finishes last in Group A4 and must face a relegation play-off against a League B team in March, remaining three points behind Norway and Denmark.
- Wales hosts reigning champions Portugal on Tuesday for their final match, though even a win cannot lift them from the bottom of the group due to an inferior head-to-head record.
