Norway Clash With Senegal in High-Stakes World Cup Showdown: Live Score and Match Stats

Erling Haaland announced himself on the World Cup stage in emphatic fashion, netting a brace in a commanding win over Iraq. Now it falls to Senegal to find a way to contain the prolific Norwegian striker.

Neutralize Haaland and Norway's attacking threat fades considerably. Ståle Solbakken's squad has failed to claim a competitive victory without a contribution from the country's all-time leading scorer since October 2021.

Senegal put in a respectable defensive shift against France's attacking threats in the first half of their World Cup opener, holding Les Bleus to a single attempt on goal throughout the opening 45 minutes. The AFCON final participant had several chances of their own, yet failed to capitalize on any of them. Kylian Mbappé and his teammates rarely waste such opportunities and cruised to a 3–1 victory. Should Senegal find a way to contain Norway and Haaland, they simply cannot afford another wasteful display in front of goal.
