Denmark's 4-1 win over Portugal in Braga on Saturday, 14 November 2026, has reshaped the UEFA Nations League League A Group 4 table — with one round of fixtures still to play and the second quarter-final place still undecided.
Portugal still lead the group with 12 points from five games, but their perfect record is gone. Denmark are second on nine points after their stunning win, Norway are third on six after beating Wales 3-1 earlier on Saturday, and Wales are bottom on three points.
Nations League Group A4 Table After Matchday 5
| Position | Team — Played, Won, Drawn, Lost, Goals For, Goals Against, Points |
| 1 | Portugal — 5, 4, 0, 1, 10, 8, 12 points |
| 2 | Denmark — 5, 3, 0, 2, 11, 8, 9 points |
| 3 | Norway — 5, 2, 0, 3, 9, 9, 6 points |
| 4 | Wales — 5, 1, 0, 4, 3, 8, 3 points |
What Each Team Needs on Tuesday
Portugal have already secured a place in the quarter-finals — UEFA confirmed their last-eight spot on Matchday 4 — and they will finish top of the group if they avoid defeat against Wales in Cardiff on Tuesday, 17 November.
Denmark need only a draw at home to Norway in Copenhagen to reach the quarter-finals. A win would take them to 12 points and could even lift them above Portugal if the group leaders lose in Cardiff, because Denmark would then lead on head-to-head goal difference: Portugal won 4-2 in Copenhagen on 1 October, but Denmark won 4-1 in Braga.
Norway must beat Denmark in Copenhagen to overtake them. A draw or a defeat leaves Norway third, because Denmark would finish on 10 or 12 points to Norway's seven or six. Norway beat Denmark 3-2 earlier in the campaign, so they know the win is possible — but they have to do it away from home.
Wales, bottom on three points, cannot reach the quarter-finals. Their final group game is at home to Portugal on Tuesday, and they will be playing for pride and for a better finish after a difficult campaign.
The format is simple: the top two teams in each League A group advance to the two-legged quarter-finals in March 2027, with the winners going on to the Nations League Finals in June 2027.
