Wales came from behind to beat Norway 2-1 in Cardiff, turning the game after the break and then protecting the lead after Torbjørn Heggem was sent off on 46 minutes.

Norway took the lead in the 11th minute when Oscar Bobb scored from Martin Odegaard's assist to make it 1-0. Wales levelled on 38 minutes through Daniel James, set up by Sorba Thomas, and the sides went in at 1-1.
