In the World Cup Round of 32, Côte d'Ivoire and Norway met. With both teams taking the field to advance in the knockout tie, the only goal of the first half came from Norway, and the visitors went into the dressing room 1-0 ahead.

The key moment of the match came in the 39th minute. Meeting the ball from a chance set up by Martin Ødegaard, Antonio Nusa found the net to put his team ahead. The goal stood out as a result in keeping with the overall balance of the first half; Norway showed a more productive look than their opponents in both possession and expected goals.

The first-half statistics backed up Norway's edge. The visitors were ahead of their opponents in possession and in chance creation. Côte d'Ivoire, although they approached the opposition box at times, could not convert the chances they found and ended the first 45 minutes behind. After the goal, in the 45+1st minute, Antonio Nusa was shown a yellow card for a hard challenge.

With the first half over, all eyes turned to the second 45 minutes. Whether Norway, who want to secure their place in the next round, can protect their advantage, and how Côte d'Ivoire will react to level the score, are points of curiosity. The result in the knockout tie will directly determine both nations' futures in the tournament. The developments in the second half will reveal the winner of the match and the holder of the last-16 ticket.
