UEFA Nations League UEFA Nations League The white line at the front of the goal signifies scoring territory and despite Northern Ireland's final attempt hitting the crossbar and trickling out towards the pitch, it was determined a goal by the officiating crew. Northern Ireland had some work to do to secure its first goal of the tilt. And boy, was it fun to watch. And their excitement was audible when their team went up 1-0, courtesy of a smooth sliding header from Andrija Zivkovic.

Omlin impressed with eight saves though almost gifted Silva a goal in the 67th. A week later in Oslo, Haaland darted in front of a defender to head home his first goal in the 10th minute and converted a penalty early in the second half to make it 2-0. The striker, who recently signed for Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund, also netted twice against Sweden last Sunday in a 2-1 win for Norway in the first of the teams’ double-header this month in League B. It found Seferović, who plays in Portugal for Benfica, to guide a header into the far bottom corner of the net. The Swiss had gone in the other direction with a five-match winless run since qualifying for the World Cup ahead of group rival Italy in November. Portugal had gone unbeaten in five games this year starting with two wins in its World Cup qualifying playoffs in March and including a 4-0 rout of the Swiss last weekend.

After Northern Ireland’s draw with Cyprus in League C Group 2, Celtic forward Georgios Giakoumakis came off the bench to open the scoring in Greece’s 2-0 win over Kosovo and keep up his country’s perfect record so far. The visitors raced into a first-half lead thanks to Andrija Zivkovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic, but a triple half-time substitution from Slovenia spurred a comeback. A heroic second-half goalkeeping display from Jonas Omlin, which saw him deny Bernardo Silva and Diogo Jota, helped Switzerland earn their first points of the campaign.

Switzerland stun Portugal for Nations League victory thanks to ... (Eurosport.com)

Switzerland picked up their first win of the Nations League group stages, against Portugal, thanks to the fastest goal in the competition's history.

78’ OMLIN SAVES AGAIN. The goalkeeper is having a blinder in just his third international appearance. 1’ GOAL - SWITZERLAND 1-0 PORTUGAL (Seferovic). Wow! What a start for the hosts! Switzerland would certainly have breathed a sigh of relief when his name was not on the team sheet. And then in the final 15 minutes, as Portugal threw caution to the wind, the goalkeeper made another fine stop to palm away Diogo Jota’s header. SWITZERLAND: Omlin 9*; Widmer 6, Akanji 7, Elvedi 8, Rodriguez 6; Freuler 7, Xhaka 7, Sow 6; Shaqiri 6, Seferovic 7, Embolo 6. Fernando Santos’ side were enjoying plenty of possession, but they rarely did anything with it.

Rodri played the full 90 minutes to help Spain secure a 2-0 UEFA Nations League win over the Czech Republic in their latest encounter.

Portugal lie second with seven points from four game, the Czech Republic have four points in third place and Switzerland are bottom with three. Cancelo played the full 90 minutes for Portugal with Bernardo Silva coming on as a second half substitute, but despite a period of late pressure from the visitors, the Swiss held on to that early advantage. And substitute Pablo Sarabia then secured victory for Luis Enrique’s side on 75 minutes with Rodri a commanding presence at the base of midfield as Spain sealed their second win in the group.

Switzerland 1-0 Portugal: Seferović's record-breaking goal seals ... (UEFA.com)

Switzerland secured their first win of the UEFA Nations League campaign and turned Group A2 on its head with a 1-0 win against Portugal in Geneva. Key moments.

The four group winners in League A will advance to the knockout finals with, in principle, one appointed as hosts. It lacked a bit of effectiveness, it was the anxiety of wanting to score. In the second half the team did everything it had to do. Seferović's goal will take the headlines (and it was indeed a superb move and cross from Widmer), but the hosts were arguably more indebted to Omlin in goal, who produced four excellent saves. Portugal took time to adjust after the early shock and created their best opportunity of the first half 17 minutes in. It took just 57 seconds for Switzerland to go in front, Silvan Widmer's teasing delivery from the right picking out Haris Seferović in the box.

Portugal 1-0 Switzerland match report. Haris Seferović head the Swiss to victory in the UEFA Nations League.

This match, alongside the win against Czech Republic, was another one to forget about and move on from as quickly as possible. Jota did well to make space for a shot that forced a save from Omlin as the chances kept coming. Silva then saw his shot blocked but Portugal were struggling to string passes together inside Switzerland’s half. Nico Elvedi came through the back of André Silva, ran clear and found Xherdan Shaqiri, his cross handled by Nuno Mendes an inch inside the 18-yard box. It was always going to be difficult to maintain the continuity and so it proved in the first half. It was a simple goal, Silvan Widmer’s cross met by Haris Seferović who headed past Rui Patrício.
