🧠 Match Summary

vs

Norway secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Iraq in Group I's final matchday at Foxborough, Boston, booking their place in the knockout rounds in emphatic fashion. Erling Haaland put the Scandinavians ahead in the 29th minute before Aymen Hussein briefly levelled for Iraq on 39 minutes, only for Haaland to restore Norway's lead just four minutes later. Leo Østigård added a third on 76 minutes to put the result beyond doubt, with Norway's clinical edge — five shots on target to Iraq's one — telling the full story.

Norway's dominance of possession at 61% and their superior conversion rate underlined the quality gap between the two sides. Iraq, limited to just one save from their goalkeeper all evening, struggled to threaten despite registering 11 shots overall, and Pierre Atcho had little drama to manage as Norway coasted to a well-deserved win.
