Norway beat Ivory Coast 2-1 to reach the World Cup last 16, earning their first knockout victory in tournament history. Antonio Nusa opened the scoring, Amad Diallo levelled, before Erling Haaland struck the late winner.

Ivory Coast created danger and briefly looked capable of forcing extra time, but Norway survived and punished them through Haaland’s timing. The win sets up a blockbuster last-16 tie against Brazil and deepens Haaland’s World Cup impact.
