UEFA Nations League

Norway beat Denmark 3-2 in the Nations League

Haaland scored twice after Oscar Bobb opened the scoring in the five-goal match in Oslo.

Norway beat Denmark 3-2 on 24 September 2026 in their opening match in Group A4 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Oscar Bobb scored first, Erling Haaland struck twice, and Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Højlund supplied Denmark’s goals. The score, date and fixture order are confirmed in UEFA’s official league-phase schedule.

Bobb opened the scoring in Oslo

The match began well for the hosts. According to UEFA’s Matchday 1 round-up, Bobb opened the scoring with a curling finish. Haaland doubled the advantage after receiving a pass from Antonio Nusa and converting the chance.

That start gave Norway a two-goal lead, but it did not settle the contest. UEFA describes it as a five-goal thriller and records Denmark’s response before the eventual equalizer.

Denmark responded through Damsgaard and Højlund

Damsgaard reduced the deficit with a free kick. In UEFA’s account of the sequence, Højlund then headed Denmark level on the hour, making it 2-2.

This match should be kept distinct from Norway’s other fixtures in the competition. The result covered here is specifically Norway 3-2 Denmark on Matchday 1, played on 24 September. The official match page identifies the fixture and provides dedicated sections for its timeline, line-ups and statistics. Because those details may rely on dynamic page content, readers should check them directly through the official link.

Haaland decided the match in the 74th minute

With the scores level, Haaland struck again. The forward’s second goal arrived in the 74th minute following a short-corner routine and secured Norway’s 3-2 victory.

The verified scoring order was therefore: Bobb for Norway; Haaland for Norway; Damsgaard for Denmark; Højlund for Denmark; and Haaland again for Norway. This sequence reconstructs the match’s shifts without assigning line-ups, playing positions or individual statistics that are not supplied by the available round-up.

The result in the context of Matchday 1

Norway versus Denmark was part of the opening round of the league phase, which began on 24 September. In the other Group A4 match, Portugal defeated Wales 1-0. UEFA’s official schedule also states that the league phase is due to conclude on 17 November.

The second round, played on 27 September, changed the group’s immediate context: Norway lost 2-1 to Portugal, while Denmark beat Wales 2-0. The Matchday 2 round-up records another Haaland goal against Portugal and says Damsgaard created both Danish goals against Wales.

Those subsequent matches help place the opening fixture in context, but they do not change the 24 September result: Norway collected all three points in the direct meeting with Denmark.

Where to verify the official record

For later updates, the safest course is to consult the match page and UEFA’s official fixtures and results section. Tables, statistics and future-match details may change, so they should always be checked through the official links. This article’s factual snapshot was updated on 29 September 2026.
