Ivory Coast is eliminated from the 2026 World Cup by Norway

  • Erling Haaland grabbed a thrilling late victory as Norway knocked Ivory Coast out of the 2026 World Cup qualifying.

Haaland had been invisible for much of the game but turned up when it mattered most to score his fifth goal of the tournament and send Norway through.

Norway had taken the lead in the first half after a stunning curling drive from Antonio Nusa, only for Manchester United’s Amad Diallo to equalise with a spectacular solo effort.

Norway will now take against Brazil in New York on July 5 for a place in the quarter-finals.

Erling Haaland has taken his goalscoring inevitability to the World Cup stage.

The 25-year-old has scored in 14 successive competitive matches for Norway, registering 22 goals in that sequence of contests.

His job tonight was simple, slotting into an empty net from 6 yards to extend the run, but as any good striker he deserves credit for getting into that position. Norway have scored in the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time since 1938.

The scorer of that goal in 1938 was Arne Brustad, who was born on the same day that the Titanic hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean.
