Norway won the Round of 32 tie 2-1, and their timing mattered. Antonio Nusa opened the scoring in the 39th minute with an assist from Martin Ødegaard, then was booked in the 45th minute, before Erling Haaland settled it in the 86th minute from Patrick Berg’s pass.
Ivory Coast created plenty despite the defeat. They had 14 shots to Norway’s 9, 5 on target to 4, and a huge 14-3 corner advantage. Their response came after changes, with Amad Diallo, introduced in the 60th minute, equalising in the 74th minute with assistance from Nicolas Pépé.
The pre-match view was close but leaned Norway. Both the model and market gave Norway a 44% win chance, while Ivory Coast were rated at 32% by the model and 27% by the market.
| Model | 32% | 24% | 44% |
