Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Norway get us underway at AT&T Stadium.
- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Ivory Coast and Norway are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 10' It’s high time Emerse Faé made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Ivory Coast is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 25' named a 4-1-2-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-1-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' Ghislain Konan is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Ivory Coast so far.
- 39' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Antonio Nusa makes it 0-1.
- 44' Norway looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Erling Haaland scoring 1 goals.
- 45' Antonio Nusa was booked on 45.
- 50' It is a cagey affair so far. Ivory Coast in their 4-1-2-3 trying to find a way past Norway's compact 4-2-1-3.
- 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Norway winning 100% of all matches.
- 60' Another change for Ivory Coast made on 60 minute. Christ Ravynel Inao Oulai leaves to be changed by Sepe Elye Wahi.
- 65' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 71' A change in the Norway ranks — Antonio Nusa exits the field as Oscar Bobb enters on 71.
- 74' Amad Diallo does the damage! The net is bulging and Ivory Coast surge ahead!
- 79' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kristoffer Ajer, as he is very good at scoring at AT&T Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 83' Another substitution for Norway to replace Marcus Pedersen by Fredrik Aursnes on 83 minute.
- 86' Erling Haaland adds to his 13 season tally! Norway lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
- 87' The Ivory Coast manager makes a substitution. Nicolas Pepe departs to be replaced by Oumar Diakite.
- 90' Another substitution for Ivory Coast to replace Yan Diomande by Evann Guessand on 90 minute.
- Ivory Coast will have plenty to reflect on. Norway were simply the better side today.
