Norway booked their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup last 16 with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Ivory Coast, as Erling Braut Haaland scored a late winner to end the Africans’ historic run.
It was Norway’s first knockout win at the World Cup after three attempts, while Ivory Coast’s first appearance beyond the group stage came to a painful end despite an impressive display.
Norway made the brighter start, with Haaland threatening early, but Ivory Coast soon settled and carved out chances of their own. Nicolas Pépé went close after meeting Yan Diomandé’s cross, while Ghislain Konan fired into the side netting. Just before half-time, Antonio Nusa broke the deadlock with a superb curling effort that beat Yahia Fofana after cutting in from the left..See the video & full news here.
