Austria remain unbeaten and top of Nations League Group B3 after a 3-1 win over Kosovo. Kosovo stayed in the contest for long periods, yet Austria managed the game well enough to hold onto their lead. Late on, substitute Carney Chukwuemeka scored the goal that decided the match and widened the final margin.
Damsgaard's left-wing play decided this one, with two of Denmark's most dangerous moves coming from his crosses. The first ball was deflected into the Welsh net early in the second half, and a later delivery reached Gustav Isaksen, whose finish cannoned in off the crossbar. Denmark controlled the first half, keeping roughly seventy percent of the ball, and Damsgaard had already rattled the post before the interval, which made the 2-0 win over Wales look well earned.
Portugal's 2-1 win over Norway in the UEFA Nations League was settled by a goalkeeping blunder. Gonçalo Ramos pounced on an error by Ørjan Nyland. João Félix put Portugal ahead before the break. Erling Haaland levelled after the interval, finishing a rebound from Martin Ødegaard's free kick. Ramos then intercepted Nyland and lifted the ball into the unguarded goal from outside the penalty area.
Greece finally beat Germany at the eleventh attempt, winning 1-0 in the UEFA Nations League. Substitute Dimitris Kourbelis settled it with a deflected shot a little over fifteen minutes from time. Earlier, Germany's best chance came from Karim Adeyemi, whose curling effort was tipped away by Konstantinos Tzolakis.
Ukraine began their Nations League campaign in Budapest with a 1-0 win over Hungary, Danylo Sikan heading home the decisive goal late in the first half. The hosts pushed hard for long spells after the break, but Ukraine stood firm and saw out the result even after a late dismissal.
France opened their Nations League campaign with a 1-0 win over Türkiye in Kocaeli. The only goal arrived early in the second half, when Kylian Mbappe found the net, and from there Les Bleus held on through a nervy closing stretch that saw the Turkish goalkeeper shown a late red card.
