- 10' Patrick Berg has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 61 appearances.
- 15' Norway international Sander Berge has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' Ivory Coast are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Ivory Coast is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Ivory Coast and Norway are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 39' The Norway Antonio Nusa breaks the deadlock on 39 minutes. 0-1!
- 44' Norway is showing some good football. However, Norway are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' Controversy at the stadium! Antonio Nusa argues furiously but the card stands.
- 50' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Ivory Coast and Norway are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 55' Norway are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 74' The Ivory Coast Amad Diallo breaks the deadlock on 74 minutes. 1-1!
- 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Torbjorn Heggem made 176 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 83' The Norway bench stirs into life. Marcus Pedersen is withdrawn and Fredrik Aursnes gets his opportunity.
- 86' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Erling Haaland makes no mistake. 1-2!
- 87' Fresh legs for Ivory Coast! Oumar Diakite comes on to replace Nicolas Pepe.
