Rúben Dias played the full 90 minutes as Portugal beat Denmark 4-2 in Copenhagen on Thursday in UEFA Nations League Group 4 action.
The 29-year-old defender made seven clearances, the most of any player on the pitch, providing the platform for Joao Cancelo, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha and Joao Felix to score.
Erling Haaland's Norway were beaten 2-1 by Wales in Cardiff after finishing the second half with 10 men. Former City midfielder Oscar Bobb gave Norway the lead, but Daniel James and Neco Williams completed the turnaround for Wales.
Portugal lead Group 4 on nine points following the results, while Norway, Denmark and Wales are all level on three points each. Dias and Haaland are set to face each other when Portugal host Norway in Porto on Sunday evening.
Earlier on Thursday, Abdukodir Khusanov played 85 minutes for Uzbekistan in a 4-1 friendly win over Syria in Tashkent. Syria's consolation goal came after Khusanov had been substituted off.
