After an excellent performance by Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa, he was chosen as the best player in the match against Ivory Coast, which ended 2-1 in stoppage time after Erling Haaland's goal.
Norway’s historic victory was defined by the composure of their 20‑year‑old forward, who broke the deadlock in the 39th minute with a calm finish to send his side into the break with a lead.
Ivory Coast responded through Amad Diallo after half‑time, but Norway’s control was restored when Erling Haaland netted his fifth goal of the tournament, sealing a memorable win and a place in the Round of 16 for the Scandinavian side.
