Portugal secured a valuable victory against Wales, winning 1-0 in the opening round of the UEFA Nations League at the Estádio José Alvalade.


The Portugal national team scored the only goal of the match through João Félix in the 23rd minute, after he struck a powerful shot from outside the penalty area that deflected off a Wales defender and deceived the goalkeeper.


In the 59th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a second goal for Portugal, assisted by Bruno, but the referee disallowed the goal for offside after consulting the video technology.


Portugal has raised its tally to 3 points, sitting in second place alongside Norway, who lead the group. Meanwhile, Wales remains without a point in fourth place, while Denmark comes in third, also without any points.
