4-1, Norway goes straight to the World Cup, Haaland doubles, Italy’s 6-game winning streak ends and they will play in the play-offs

The Italian team, ranked 9th in the world, ushered in the final round of the first group stage of the European preliminaries of the World Cup. Italy was at home to face the Norwegian team, ranked 29th in the world and led by Haaland.

Before the game, Norway led Group I with 21 points, 3 points ahead of Italy, and 17 goals ahead of Italy. In this way, if Italy wants to advance directly, it must beat Norway by at least 9 goals in order to overtake Norway and take first place in the group. This difficulty can be imagined. Therefore, Norway only needs to make sure not to lose too much in this game to ensure promotion. It's clear the Italian team is under a lot of pressure.

In the 11th minute of the first half, the 28-year-old Inter Milan star Dimarco made a wonderful pass from the left side of the penalty area. The 20-year-old Inter Milan star Pio received the ball at close range in front of the goal and turned around and shot low to help Italy take the lead.

In the 18th minute of the second half, Serlot made a pass, and 20-year-old Leipzig star Nousa helped Norway equalize the score.

After 15 minutes, Bob sent a wonderful pass from the left side of the penalty area. Haaland met the ball on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed sideways to help Norway take the lead.

After 1 minute, Norway stole the ball on the right side of the frontcourt, and then launched a quick counterattack. Harland received an exquisite cross from teammate Thorsby in the middle of the penalty area, and succeeded in shooting to help Norway expand its lead.

In the 93rd minute, Larsen helped Norway win another victory to kill the game.

In the end, Norway reversed Italy and won 8 consecutive victories in the world preliminaries, while Italy missed the 7 consecutive victories in the world preliminaries. After the game, Norway ranked first in the group with 24 points and qualified for the World Cup again after 27 years. Italy ranked second in the group with 18 points and will participate in the play-offs.
