Despite ending the first half with a lead, Italy was ultimately defeated 1-4 by Norway in the match played at "San Siro", the last for these World Cup qualifiers.
The “Axurrët” found the advantage in the 10th minute, when Francesco Pio Esposito sent the ball into the net after an assist from Federico Dimarco. The first half ended 1-0 for the home team.
In the second half, the Norwegians' big upset came. Antonio Nusa initially equalized in the 62nd minute, with a powerful shot inside the area.
Erling Haaland scored two goals in two minutes 77 and 79, first with a beautiful left-footed shot after a perfect assist from Oskar Bob, and the second goal after an assist from Torsby. Jorgen Strand Larsen, who entered the field in the last minutes in place of Haaland, sealed the 1-4 victory for the Norwegians, who close these qualifiers with full points, 24 points in 8 matches. The Nordics qualify for the first time in 28 years in the World Cup, as the last time they participated in a World Cup was in the distant year 1998.
Italy remains in second place and will seek a ticket to the World Cup through the play-offs.
The other duel in Group I, between Israel and Moldova, ended with a score of 4-1.
