The first half at Ullevaal Stadium was goalless, with Norway looking a bit lacklustre but they were a much better team after the break and broke through in the 59th minute when Antonio Nusa collected a loose ball after a corner, cut inside onto his right foot and drove a powerful shot past Karl Darlow.

Andreas Schjelderup doubled the lead in the 68th minute, two minutes after coming on. Nusa started the move and Erling Haaland crossed the ball through the area for Schjelderup to finish at the back post.

Wales did not fold, though, and hit back in the 79th minute when Harry Wilson played in David Brooks, who held off David Moller Wolfe and chipped the ball over goalkeeper Egil Selvik.

That gave Wales a brief hope of a point, but Norway restored their two-goal cushion in the 88th minute when Connor Roberts brought down Schjelderup in the box. Haaland sent Darlow the wrong way from the spot and secured the win for the visitors.

Wales will now finish bottom of Group A4, whatever happens at home to Portugal on Tuesday. They could end level on six points with Denmark and Norway but have a worse head-to-head record against both, so a March play-off to avoid relegation is likely.

Norway moved to six points and visit Denmark on Tuesday in their final game.

The rest of Saturday's results

Portugal 1-4 Denmark (League A, Group 4)

This was Portugal's first match since Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement from international football, and Denmark were the better team from the first minute.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored a penalty just before half-time, and Rasmus Hojlund added two goals after the break: a volley four minutes after the restart, then a run past Ruben Dias and a strike from the edge of the area.

Joachim Andersen headed in a fourth, and Bernardo Silva scored a late consolation.

Denmark are second on nine points and will go through with a draw against Norway on Tuesday. Portugal were already sure of a quarter-final place.

Austria 1-0 Republic of Ireland (League B, Group 3)

Substitute Sasa Kalajdzic scored in the 79th minute at his club ground in Linz, which secured Austria promotion to League A with a game to spare.

Ireland now face a must-win game against Kosovo in Dublin on Tuesday if they are to reach a play-off.

Sweden 3-2 Bosnia and Herzegovina (League B, Group 4)

A Daniel Svensson header and two Viktor Gyokeres penalties put Sweden three goals clear by half-time.

Armin Gigovic scored within two minutes of the restart and Sead Kolasinac added another just after the hour as Bosnia and Herzegovina fought back, but Sweden's defence ultimately held on.

Sweden's win secured promotion as group winners with one game left, while Bosnia stay second on eight points and head for the promotion-relegation play-offs.

Romania 2-1 Poland (League B, Group 4)

Alexandru Cicaldau and Dennis Man scored four minutes apart in the second half to give Romania their first points of the campaign, under returning coach Gheorghe Hagi.

Marcel Regula pulled one back for Poland in the 82nd minute, but it was too little, too late as the home side got revenge for the 6-0 defeat in Warsaw in October, and ended Poland's hopes of reaching the promotion play-offs.

Georgia 0-2 Hungary (League B, Group 2)

After a goalless first half, Georgian defender Lasha Dvali turned Dominik Szoboszlai's corner into his own net in the 73rd minute, and Barnabas Varga finished a counterattack in the 85th to put Hungary provisionally top of their group on 10 points, with Georgia rooted to the bottom on two.

Northern Ireland 1-0 Ukraine (League B, Group 2)

Terry Devlin scored his first international goal from the edge of the box after a corner, with a powerful strike that left Ukraine's keeper motionless.

It was Ukraine's first away defeat in 90 minutes in 2026 and leaves Northern Ireland needing a point in Hungary on Tuesday to be promoted to League A for the first time.
