Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Norway to score. At the same time, Senegal does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' The travelling Senegal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 13' The whistle greets Julian Ryerson as he departs to be replaced by Marcus Pedersen.
  • 18' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Norway needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 28' 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.
  • 33' 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.
  • 38' Sander Berge has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 43' Marcus Pedersen puts Norway on the lead.
  • 46' Another change for Norway made on 46 minute. Fredrik Aursnes leaves to be changed by Patrick Berg.
  • 48' Goal! Erling Haaland scores his 252 goal in 83 matches.
  • 53' Goal! Ismaila Sarr scores his 71 goal in 422 matches.
  • 54' The whistle greets El Hadji Diouf as he departs to be replaced by Ismail Jakobs.
  • 58' Goal! Erling Haaland scores his 252 goal in 83 matches.
  • 63' Time for substitution for Senegal. Edouard Mendy is replaced by Mory Diaw.
  • 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
  • 71' It is a substitution in Norway team. Antonio Nusa is replaced by Andreas Schjelderup on 71 minute.
  • 72' Pape Sarr has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kalidou Koulibaly on 72 minute.
  • 77' Senegal is showing some good football. However, Senegal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 82' Norway seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 84' Oscar Bobb is replacing Alexander Sorloth for the Norway side.
  • 89' Norway started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 89.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-2.
