Norway advanced to the World Cup round of sixteen for the first time after defeating Ivory Coast 2-1, thanks to a decisive 86th-minute goal from Erling Haaland. The match, held on July 1, 2026, saw Norway take the lead in the first half through a long-range strike from Antonio Nusa. Ivory Coast equalized in the second half with a solo effort from Amad Diallo, but Haaland’s composed finish late in the game sealed a historic victory for the European side.
The win marked Norway’s first-ever knockout stage success in World Cup history. Haaland, who has scored in all three of Norway’s matches in the tournament, now has five goals in the current campaign and 60 in 53 international appearances. His consistent scoring form has been a key factor in Norway’s progress.
With this result, Norway secured a place in the last sixteen and will face five-time world champions Brazil on July 5. Haaland’s continued form could pose a serious challenge for the South American giants in the upcoming match.
