Côte d'Ivoire vs Norway

Norway ended Ivory Coast's World Cup run with a hard-fought 2-1 victory in the Round of 32, with Erling Haaland's 86th-minute winner settling a gripping encounter. Antonio Nusa opened the scoring in the 39th minute, lifting a swinging effort into the net from inside the left side of the box. Ivory Coast hit back through Amad Diallo on 74 minutes, finishing smartly after a quick one-two with Nicolas Pépé on the right. But Haaland had the final say, flicking home a Patrick Berg pass with his left foot to restore Norway's lead with barely five minutes left to play. It's a landmark result for Norway — their first ever World Cup knockout win — and they now travel to MetLife Stadium to face Brazil in the Round of 16 on July 5. Ivory Coast exit having shown they could compete at this level, but ultimately couldn't hold on when it mattered most.
