How to remove a slug in the middle of a path via routing?

Hi there! I’m dealing with a path like portfolio/categories/category-1 and I want to remove the slug in the middle of the path (categories). According to the basic blog example my initial try looks like that:

<?php

return [
    'routes' => [
        [
            'pattern' => '(:any)',
            'action'  => function($uid) {
                $page = page($uid);
                if(!$page) $page = page('portfolio/categories/' . $uid);
                if(!$page) $page = site()->errorPage();
                return site()->visit($page);
            }
        ],
        [
            'pattern' => 'portfolio/categories/(:any)',
            'action'  => function($uid) {
                go('portfolio/' . $uid);
            }
        ]
    ]
];

It redirects to /portfolio/category-1 as it should but it’s ending up on the error page. Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?

This then needs to be portfolio/(:any)
