  • 23' Norway player sees a card in front of him.
  • 28' 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.

  • 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Norway side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
