Norway opened the scoring 17 minutes into the first half. After a corner kick, Sorloth took advantage of the ball and scored. The striker found the net once again, but had the goal disallowed due to a lack of attack.
Seven minutes into the second half, the referee awarded a penalty to the Norwegians. Halaand was in charge of the penalty, but the Manchester City striker wasted the penalty. At the end of the game, Duda received the ball inside the area, cleared the mark and scored a great goal to equalize, in the 42nd minute.
