Norway beat Ivory Coast to set up Brazil tie

Norway beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in the World Cup round of 16 in Dallas and will face Brazil next.

The game started cautiously, with both sides struggling to test the goalkeepers. Nusa broke the deadlock with a fine right-footed finish into the corner, giving Norway a half-time lead.

Ivory Coast improved after the break and found an equaliser in the 74th minute through Amad Diallo, who scored after a solo run. The Ivorians had chances to go ahead, but Orjan Nyland kept them out, including a stop from Nicolas Pepe in the 55th minute.

Norway responded late and won it in the 86th minute when Patrick Berg set up Haaland. Diallo almost levelled again deep into stoppage time, but Nyland denied him with a free-kick save.

Norway now meet Brazil in New York/New Jersey on 14 July at 23:30.
