World Cup 2026: Ivory Coast 1-2 Norway - Erling Haaland scores dramatic winner to set up last-16 clash with Brazil
Erling Haaland scored an 86th-minute winner to send Norway to a dramatic 2-1 win over Ivory Coast - and set up a mouth-watering World Cup last-16 clash with Brazil.
With a tense round-of-32 game heading towards extra-time, Norway's main man stepped up to tap in Sander Berge's cross to earn Norway their first World Cup knockout-stage win.
Before that, it was a game of brilliant goals. Much of the talk this summer has been about Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande but it was his RB Leipzig team-mate Antoino Nusa who stole the show in Dallas.
Nusa's curling effort put Norway in front against the run of play. The second half was better from Ivory Coast - as it turned into the Amad Diallo show.
The Manchester United winger came off the bench to stop Torbjorn Heggem from doubling Norway's lead by clearing off the line. Seven minutes later, he crashed in a stunning solo goal to give the African side hope on their World Cup knockout debut.
But Haaland, as he always does, had the last laugh. Now he's Brazil's problem!
