🧠 Match Summary

vs

Norway edged past Ivory Coast 2-1 in a tense Round of 32 encounter at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, booking their place in the last sixteen of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Antonio Nusa broke the deadlock on 39 minutes, giving Norway a deserved half-time lead, before Amad Diallo pulled Ivory Coast level on 74 minutes to set up a nervy finale. Erling Haaland, as he so often does on the biggest stages, had the final say, converting on 86 minutes to seal the victory for Norway.

Ivory Coast dominated possession in phases and created the greater volume of chances, firing 14 shots to Norway's nine, yet their four saves from the Norwegian goalkeeper proved decisive. Jesús Valenzuela refereed a largely disciplined contest, with only one yellow card shown throughout the ninety minutes.
