Norway-Wales: goals and key moments

79' Goal - Brooks combines in a tight one-two, takes the ball past Ajer with his first touch and chips it over Selvik as the goalkeeper rushes desperately off his line.

68' Goal - Norway punish Wales for pushing forward. Wolfe wins the ball and instantly sends Nusa through. The Leipzig winger, having run off the shoulder of the last defender, lets the ball bounce and finds Haaland with the outside of his foot. Almost through on goal inside the area, the City striker opts against shooting and plays a no-look pass to the far post. Substitute Schjelderup beats Darlow from close range.

59' Goal - Following a corner, Nusa chests down a short clearance from the Wales defence at the edge of the area. From inside the arc, he drives a low right-footed shot into the bottom corner to Darlow's right.

55' Chance - Norway create their first real chance when Nusa finally beats his man and slips a through ball into the area for Berge. He tries to place a right-footed shot from the edge of the six-yard box, but Cullen makes a desperate block.

43' Chance - James has another chance and produces the first shot on target of the match, forcing Selvik to punch away his powerful effort from just outside the right edge of the area.

18' Chance - James has the match's first real goalscoring chance. He races away on the counter-attack, changes direction twice to unsettle the Norwegian defence and attempts a lob from the edge of the area. It beats Selvik but goes just wide of the far post.
