BREAKING: Haaland Scores As Norway Defeat Ivory Coast To Qualify For 2026 FIFA World Cup Round Of 16
Norway are through to the Round of 16 after edging a gripping knockout contest in Dallas.
Antonio Nusa’s stunning opener and Erling Haaland’s decisive winner proved enough despite Amad Diallo producing one of the moments of the tournament with his brilliant solo equaliser.
Konan whips in a dangerous cross that looks like it could dip under the bar, but Nyland reacts brilliantly, stretching to get the faintest touch and tip it away from danger.
Defeat was harsh on the Ivory Coast, for whom Amad Diallo conjured up a brilliant goal after coming off the bench on the hour mark. Antonio Nusa had opened the scoring for Norway six minutes before the break.
Ivory Coast pushed until the very end, but Norway held firm to book a mouthwatering last-16 clash against five-time world champions Brazil.
