The drama levels of the 2026 World Cup remained high in Norway's 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast.

While it didn't take a penalty shootout to settle things in Texas on Tuesday afternoon, it did take a late winner from Erling Haaland's to decide things. Haaland, who continues to feel inevitable up top for Norway, benefited from a fantastic bit of buildup from his teammates – Oscar Bobb's entry ball to Patrick Berg, who claimed the assist, was exquisite.

In addition to his goal, the Manchester City striker was a frightening target for crosses into the box and did well to unsettle the Ivory Coast's center backs on the day. Between Haaland's strike and Antonio Nusa's brilliant effort in the first half that put his side up 1-0, Norway showed the sort of teeth in the final third that make them such a terrifying prospect at this summer's tournament.

Now, the Ivory Coast made a good account of themselves at the World Cup, and in this game in particular. Amad Diallo's goal in the 74th minute breathed life into the team, one that made life difficult for Norway from the very start. Even into second half stoppage time, the Ivory Coast threatened in the attack. Still, that Yan Diomande had a largely quiet showing limited their ceiling.

While the Ivory Coast head home, Norway will face Brazil in the Round of 16 at MetLife Stadium on July 5th. That matchup won't be short on starpower, huh?

Vikings ahead with minutes left.

What. A. Goal.

Can't quite believe this didn't go in.

Yeah wouldn't want him chasing me

Unreal scenes in Norwegian capital

Up 1-0 at the break, Norway find themselves with a foot into the Round of 16. Of course, there's still plenty of time for the Ivory Coast to work their way back into the match, but Antonio Nusa's lovely curled effort from the left side of the box made the difference in the opening period.

There was plenty of back-and-forth play in Dallas between the two sides. Norway began the game controlling the ball high up the field, but the Ivory Coast worked to wrestle things back as the half wore on. Emerse Faé's team tried to make the field big in their 4-3-3 possession setup, switching the ball to the wings and trying to let star left-sider Yan Diomande make plays.

Still Norway's pressing and control has largely limited the Ivory Coast attack. That fact, along with Nusa's strike and some threatening service into Erling Haaland, has Norway in prime position to see out the game in the second half. But will they?

Great strike to open the scoring.

Haaland back, predictably

Unless you're the Ecuador national team...who probably didn't get much sleep
