02:15Well, over the course of a century and more, Brazil have played 1,070 international matches
02:20against 88 different nations.
02:23There is only one nation on earth that they have taken on and never beaten, and that nation
02:29is Norway.
02:30So this mutual greeting is perhaps infused with a greater historical frisson than most
02:37others at the competition.
02:38They'll know.
02:57Brazil have won the last eight games they've played at this stage of the World Cup, a sequence
03:03that began with a verbatim goal that knocked out the USA on Independence Day in 1994.
03:08Norway have lost both games they had previously played in the last 16, both against Italy,
03:13both in Marseille, 1938 and 1998.
03:30We have an American referee, his 44-year-old Ishmael Elfat.
03:34But it's his third game of this tournament, and the last World Cup, he oversaw Brazil's shock defeat
03:39by Cameroon, and went on to be the fourth official for the 2022 final.
03:48Today, his VAR is the Nicaraguan Tatiana Kruzman.
04:03Well, having turned up the wick with his bold halftime changes to avert a crisis in Houston
04:08six days ago, Carlo Ancelotti reverts to his core starting formation again now.
04:13Well, the one-in-force changes in midfield.
04:16Lucas Paketar, subbed at halftime against Japan, is not fit.
04:19Gabriel Martinelli, match winner, gets his first start of the tournament.
04:24Rafinha and Neymar, both available now, but both of those are on the bench as Mateus Cunha
04:29continues up front.
04:38And like Brazil, Norway were nail-bitingly late winners of their last tie.
04:43Since squeezing past Cote d'Ivoire in Dallas on Tuesday, there's been conjecture about
04:47the potential return of full-back Julian Nearsson, who was injured on this ground nearly a
04:53fortnight ago.
04:54Well, at least to begin with, he does play at the expense of Marcus Holker and Pedersen,
04:58who has gone home ill.
04:59That is the only change.
05:01Earning Haaland, match winner again last time out, has scored half of Norway's ten tournament
05:06goals so far.
05:07Two of them here against Senegal.
05:21Each side has its point of difference.
05:25Its centre of attention, unquestionably, is Norway's.
05:31Against Japan in Houston last time out, Carlo Ancelotti once again exhibited extraordinary
05:36poise under pressure.
05:37A fuss-free halftime rejig, a few cajoling words.
05:41And by the end, the crisis had turned into an opportunity.
05:44And Stoller-Solbach and two showed nerves of steel to prevail in the face of pressure and
05:50very tight margins in their last game.
05:56So, 14 teams left, 14 days left at World Cup 2026.
06:03After this, the next game at this venue will be the final.
06:13First day of the USA's 251st year.
06:17Which of these flies tearfully out of America?
06:22This party weekend and which stays for more.
06:26For a quarter-final against England or Mexico in Miami next Saturday.
06:30Brazil to meet their nation's natural demand.
06:33Norway to smash their glass ceiling to push back the boundaries of their historical expectation.
06:40Five o'clock in Rio, ten o'clock in Oslo.
06:43Two nations fixated on the next two hours.
06:47This really ought to be good, Alan.
06:49It should be, yeah.
06:51Absolutely.
06:52The further we get in this competition, you can just feel the edge, the tension sharpened.
06:57Both in the stands, within the supporters, and inevitably within these players, each of
07:04one, who will want to get off to a solid start.
07:07Think about those first touches.
07:09Be nice and secure.
07:10But do it right and build yourself into the contest.
07:19The goal for Norway.
07:21Very long in search of a Sorlott with Santos on his back.
07:25And Mout Niersen behind Sorlott in the right-for-back position.
07:30He does begin, but I do know there is a certain nervousness about his fitness for the entirety
07:36of the game, coming back as he is from a hamstring problem.
07:40Forward by Danilo, pounced upon by Molle Volfer.
07:52It's going on Pedersen, who is the alternative right-back.
07:56I said he'd gone home.
07:57He hasn't gone all the way home to Norway.
07:59He's just been sent back to the hotel.
08:00He's not well.
08:02So Norway are potentially exposed in that right-back position.
08:07We'll see.
08:07It'd be a blow if they were to lose Reherson on the ball here.
08:10His stamina, his second to none, he'll get up and down.
08:13As Sorlott ducks inside a little bit.
08:16The right-back will be hoping to fill that space on the right-hand flank.
08:20So he'll be hoping, his manager will be hoping he'll last the course.
08:31So they probably have a tougher opponent than Vinicius Junior.
08:39Oh, Tedder came to Reherson and now broke for Odegaard.
08:42And he can progress with purpose and play it in here for Sorlott.
08:48And Norway lead in next to no time.
08:55Steered in stylishly by Patrick Berg, who looks up and sees a deflating flag.
09:06It was a lovely move.
09:07Talking about the right-hand side of Norway's attack.
09:10He's just gone a little bit early, hasn't he?
09:12Sorlott.
09:13He's picked out his man perfectly.
09:15Who's got plenty of time to think about it.
09:18Berg, and it didn't faze him at all.
09:20But, yeah, offside.
09:24The moment of which he dropped, snatched away from him at the margins.
09:39Well, he said Brazil needed a warning.
09:43There was one, blazed out in front of them, right at the beginning of the drama.
09:52Arlen held it well for Odegaard again.
10:01Berger, Hegem, Odegaard.
10:11Berger, Hegem, Odegaard, Sorlott.
10:19Leicester.
10:25Visible confidence on the ball from Norway in the early part of the game.
10:33So, again, that Norway is the only nation that Brazil have played against
10:37through the whole of their international football history
10:40and failed to beat.
10:42More previous meetings.
10:45One particularly famous one at the 1998 World Cup.
10:50Which the Norwegian football public have lived on for ever since.
10:59But it is anticipated in Norway that right now
11:03they have the biggest television audience that has ever been for anything.
11:08Odegaard, Berger, Reeson.
11:15Sorlott makes a yard and wins a corner.
11:17Yeah, and that Norway television audience will be
11:20pretty much excited, enthused by the start.
11:25They've seen their nation make it.
11:27And they are strong at set pieces, Norway.
11:30These are dangerous moments of Brazil.
11:36So, Erling Haaland
11:39hiding, if possibly he can, behind the back posts.
11:42But in his company, Sorlott, a six-foot plenty.
11:45They have two giant centre-halves who've advanced as well.
11:52Sander Berger nearest to goalkeeper
11:54as Odegaard lifts it in.
11:55He's going to have to do that all over again.
12:08Has eyes on everything.
12:26In regard to re-deliver, Haaland was right in the mix.
12:30Alisson thought about coming, thought better of it.
12:34Yeah, a bit of a hurried clearance there.
12:37They haven't had a chance to get their foot on the ball yet, Brazil,
12:40but maybe here.
12:42Martinelli finishes junior.
12:45Bits off a little more than he could chew.
12:47Orga took it off his toe.
12:48A little more than he could chew.
12:48A little more than he could chew.
13:15Will of Ulfa, Loosa.
13:19Morgan crunching in.
13:21Marquinhos crunching out for Brazil.
13:33That's a pass and a half.
13:36The reason.
13:42He's repeating that Norway's form up to and including this World Cup has been formidable.
13:48They had won 12 competitive games in a row until their dilute selection was beaten by France the other day.
13:56Game which they evidently did not prioritize.
14:02That approach to it has been proven correct by their subsequent progress.
14:07Casemiro.
14:08Looked out wide for Ryan.
14:10How he is impressed.
14:12Bruno Kimmerich.
14:15Martinelli was surrounded.
14:16And he's conjured it back.
14:26Kimmerich.
14:27And this was Junior in space.
14:29And he feasts on space.
14:32He's kept it from Reherson.
14:35And he's got a round eye out.
14:36And he's run out of pitch.
14:38Yeah.
14:39Nice little spell though for Brazil there.
14:42First to the match.
14:44And he's first step over.
14:47I thought he might have swung one in with his left foot but tried to keep going.
14:53As always, whoever's facing this fellow, it's a key match-up.
14:57Reherson's got to concentrate.
15:01Oh, for Carlo Ancelotti, Vinicius Junior in all three group games for Brazil.
15:06Just as Ronaldo and Rivaldo did in 2002 when they last won it.
15:13Reherson's got to do it by Guinerage, cut off by Aja.
15:52Reherson's got to do it by Aja.
16:11That's a big call.
16:13Not sure how well-placed the ref was to make a decision.
16:17But of course, he's always got the backup of the VAR.
16:22Mr Baria getting their second.
16:25It's a stick-on penalty.
16:29It is as clear-cut as you are likely to get here.
16:39Christopher Aja, a long, long way behind the ball.
16:44Cornu's fleekness of foot left to the problem he couldn't solve.
16:48Well, don't give it if you're the ref if you're not sure.
16:51And he clearly wasn't.
16:53But he will be, I think, once he goes over to that monitor.
17:00Ancelotti demands calm.
17:01He personifies calm.
17:03He exudes calm.
17:05But he will be expecting Alphap to be summoned by the Nicaraguan VAR.
17:13Although I'm hearing that there is some talk also of a potential foul in the build-up here.
17:19Which might negate everything.
17:21We'll see.
17:22Here he goes.
17:23He's off to the screen.
17:25Yeah, didn't Ryan jump in and win the ball?
17:28That might be what they were talking about.
17:30But it seems now that...
17:31Is he just going to have a look at the penalty, the tackle?
17:42Well, the still doesn't leave much to the imagination.
17:48I always think it's preferable to watch the first ones in real time.
17:52But he hasn't needed many views here.
17:57After review, attacking defender number three.
18:00Committed tripping foul.
18:01Final decision.
18:04Penalty kick.
18:08And the Brazilians are bouncing up and down.
18:11Yellow is prevalent.
18:14Christopher Iras crestfallen.
18:16Yeah, got sucked into it.
18:19He'll be absolutely kicking himself.
18:21That he didn't just stand on his feet and stay goal side.
18:25This was the possible foul they were talking about.
18:28Not enough in it, I don't think, to bring it back.
18:33But more than enough in that challenge.
18:36To warrant a penalty.
18:38What a start for Brazil.
18:4815th penalty at this World Cup.
18:5011 of the first 14 have been successfully converted.
18:55Vinicius Jr. has possession of the ball for now.
18:58But he handed over to Bruno Gimaraes.
19:01Gimaraes.
19:18Brazil holds its breath.
19:22Gimaraes takes a breath.
19:43What a sharp reaction.
19:46What a good guess.
19:47What a firm-wristed repelling of the Gimaraes' kick.
19:54And the game remains goalless.
19:58They do so much homework, don't they, these goalkeepers?
20:03No wonder Nieland turned round to those Norway fans and pumped his fists.
20:22Well, he had a very big part to play, did Ojan Nieland,
20:25in the victory over the Ivory Coast the other day.
20:27He conceded a fabulous goal from Ahmad Diallo.
20:30But even later in that game, he made a superb save from the same player.
20:35But that is the sort of save which will turn him into a Norwegian national treasure.
20:41Yeah, quite.
20:42He'll never forget this moment.
20:43Particularly if they go through.
20:45Once again, though, the stutter by the penalty taker doesn't pay off.
20:50Not a huge fan of it.
20:52It's not a great penalty.
20:54Certainly not in the corner.
20:56Good height for him, but he's guessed right.
20:59He's moved beautifully.
21:05Painful.
21:07So, a quarter of an hour in.
21:10Norway have had the ball in Brazil's net.
21:13It didn't count.
21:14Brazil have failed to put the ball in Norway's net from 12 yards out.
21:29Well, great start to this match.
21:32It's really giving it an extra edge.
21:38Ryan.
21:44What a talent this teenager is.
21:47And what a year he's had.
21:49No wonder Ancelotti trusts him.
22:07Mattias Krestrom there, the FIFA General Secretary.
22:10And also members of the Norwegian royal family.
22:14Who may be joined by all Jan Nieland after what they've just witnessed.
22:20There's no one more royal than him in that country right now.
22:34Norway themselves had a penalty save.
22:36Not that it mattered a great deal by Menor.
22:39In that final group game against France.
22:48Going back to the penalty, Brazil moved the ball so well, did Naita free up Cunha.
22:55Norway got caught.
23:05Lusa.
23:14Noga.
23:21Lusa.
23:29In guard.
23:31Poked out here for Vinicius studio.
23:33Taken up at speed by Gabriel Martinelli.
23:40Vinicius.
23:41worrying I watched away from Julia certainly Martin Oh the God will be
23:48relieved about that losing the ball Brazil made it a 3v3 that's so quick on
23:55the counter with a card on the counter counter
24:03solo very very adept tackle by Douglas Santos
24:15Smashing head and flow about this game has always seemed likely to be the case
24:35it's Japan in the second half kept Brazil afloat
24:42I said it this week
24:43Cunha
24:46hold up by Martinelli sifted in by Santos
24:51Cunha couldn't connect with the pass
24:55there is a nice flow to Brazil's play though when they have the ball
24:59lots of movement off the ball
25:01lots of quality on it
25:14so he's been fun to watch
25:18the holy rounds of this world cup yeah what a goal it was
25:21it's code d'ivoire one of the best of the tournament
25:26risk solo
25:29risk
25:32murder guard
25:34burger
25:44solo
26:03I
26:04out previous meetings between these nations this is the first one outside of europe three
26:15oslo friendlies and the game of the french world cup this is the fact that both sides
26:21have scored in all four meetings prior to this one so it's quite easier stored in the
26:27first 20 minutes here
26:34so
26:39so
26:41so
26:41so
26:48Go to God.
26:50Go to God.
27:21Enjoyed plenty of possession in Brazil's half, Norway, but all of it really in front of that Brazil back four.
27:31Certainly haven't got the flair of their opponents in terms of creating chances.
27:35They've got their own way of doing things and it's gotten them this far.
27:39It's been good enough.
28:05It's touched the ball more than Martin Erdogan in the first quarter of the game.
28:23It's been a message in the Brazil dressing room.
28:26Don't give away unnecessary free kicks.
28:28Don't give Norway a chance to sling one in.
28:34Well, it's likely I think we'll have a hydration break in the direct aftermath of this set piece.
28:42So Norway can shift the dynamic before that if they maximise this.
29:02But now, Harland and Derbe are the wrong side of the offside line.
29:08It's a long way of maneuvering short.
29:10Lusa.
29:12Lusa.
29:13Lovely feet.
29:17Reherson, he's kept it well too.
29:21Berg.
29:23Lusa, he's lost it.
29:25And this is perilous for Norway.
29:28Cunha's on his way.
29:28Vinicius Cunha is peening away.
29:31Matthias Cunha with the bust.
29:34And he's linked upon sufficiently to keep it from shooting.
29:40Didn't roll a ball for too well.
29:42Yeah, he did do well.
29:44I mean, they had a three against three.
29:45Now it's two against two.
29:48They turned down the chance to put one in the box from that free kick and he didn't come off.
30:02Whoa.
30:14All right.
30:15Now it's three.
30:29higher
30:30more relieved than him
30:32by the penalty save
30:33Reherson
30:36Medegaard
30:37Berg
31:09He's in no hurry
31:13Contents to slow the game
31:20The hero of their hour
31:26That's a very convenient spot
31:28For the referee
31:29Potentially to stop the game
31:30But he
31:34Chosen not to yet
31:45Locking us
31:51Gabrielle
31:52Set to head with Harland
31:55Was set to be a feature of the game
31:57It hasn't featured yet
31:59There's Ryan
32:01Udo Kimmerich
32:04All the way by Noosa
32:06Which missed away from one challenge
32:08But then ran into Casemiro
32:13And now the referee
32:15Can call
32:16A temporary halt
32:20This was one big moment
32:21This was the challenge
32:23Alan
32:23Wolfen was at full pelt here
32:25There's a little bit of physical contact
32:27But he
32:28He does enough
32:29Really good
32:30Not enough
32:31No
32:32Matthias Cunha
32:32Forward penalty
32:33I don't think
32:46There goes
32:47One
32:48Two

34:09Sorry, am I muted?
34:11We also deliver
34:12Perfect, perfect
34:17Lovely skill to get out of a tight situation
34:19And now a powerful run forward
34:24Just look at the way
34:25He turns the defender and gets away
34:28He just couldn't quite get hold of that one
34:33What an occasion
34:34What drama here for these fans
34:36What drama here for these fans
34:37To do this
34:41There's this strike into the bottom corner
34:43It's a goal
34:53Games here
34:54Three for France
34:54In the last 32
34:56Not to add to those yet
35:06Did score both of his penalties last season
35:08Looking for Newcastle in the Premier League
35:13Certainly didn't seem remotely peculiar
35:15That he was called upon to take that one
35:17Of course Brazil is a team
35:19Full of candidates
35:43Give us
35:45Semiro from
35:46Between the Brazilian centre-halves
35:50Ryan
35:55Scooped in by Danilo
35:56Shaped too much on it
35:59For Vinicius Junior
36:01Who does well to make good
36:03And then
36:04Feeds in Santos
36:07Flashed right across the face
36:09Ryan
36:11Danilo tried to set it
36:13But in vain
36:13And Nusa ran away with it
36:19Well how well does
36:20Vinicius Junior do
36:22Out on that
36:22Left-hand side
36:24I thought he was going to lay in Martinelli
36:25A bit earlier than he did
36:27But it's a perfect pass
36:28This could have easily come off
36:30The keeper's leg
36:31Into his own net
36:35Martinelli in familiar territory
36:36Starting wide
36:37Coming in from that left-hand side
36:39So close
36:58Headlong by Neyland
37:00Harlan was wrestling
37:02Allison was hurriedly
37:04Necessarily off his line
37:05Martinelli's come to collect
37:12Yeah interesting
37:13The ref didn't penalise Harlan there
37:15Gabbard went to ground
37:18JZ is a native New Yorker
37:21Brooklyn boy
37:22Made very
37:23Very good
37:25Absorbed
37:25In what is
37:26In front of him
37:45For Santos
37:48It's a lot of space
37:49Down this near side
37:50After Wolf who had gone in
37:52And lost it
37:55That's a decent ball
37:57Odegaard on the half-turn
37:58Sola
38:11Odegaard
38:14Murga
38:17Moussa
38:19Whoop-trop is towed by Kivaraj
38:25Casemiro
38:26Vinicius Junior
38:27That's a lovely ball movement
38:28By the Brazilians
38:31Danilo
38:33Vinicius Junior
38:35Picks it away from Higgum
38:37And just
38:38They really do look sharp
38:40When they
38:40Nick the ball
38:41In their own half
38:42Brazil
38:42Don't they
38:43Who've seen it
38:44Three, four, five times
38:45Already
38:46He can't believe
38:47That
38:47Vinicius Junior
38:48Didn't make more of that
38:49I don't think
38:50Vinicius Junior
38:50Can either
38:51But
38:52Always a threat
39:17Goalkeeper
39:21Vigorously
39:23Here's Martinelli
39:27The hour against Japan last time you know from off the bench. This is his first start
39:33Interesting selection is as a midfielder with license to go more often to the left or the magic. He's got
39:39half a choice
39:48Dark turn from Haaland. Number two to one, but he still kept it for Sola
39:55Oh, had to go right to Martin Odegaard. He was in acres. And now here's Cunha
40:01Vinicius Junior
40:05Bruno Kimmerich
40:07Ryan
40:07Vinicius and again
40:17Well of offer
40:21Janilo
40:25Samira Ryan
40:34And again the teenager
40:39Danilo
40:40Danilo
40:40It's a pain giveaway to Sola
40:43He's got Odegaard
40:45Chucking outside of it
40:49Lumbering forward inside of it
41:16Odegaard
41:17A touch but good moment for them
41:19They've had to do plenty defending in this first half
41:25And that is Norway's first legal attempt of the match
41:30Of course they had a goal ruled out for offside
41:36In a sense that feels like a slightly unkind representation of what they've done in the game up to now
41:41But those are the ball facts
41:56But those are the ball facts
42:11They've had to do plenty of time
42:34They've had to do plenty of time
42:40They've had to do plenty of time
42:41But that's the only thing they've had to do plenty of time
42:41connect with this absolutely perfectly nice a bit of imagination in it though trying to loft one over
42:47alison when he passed him it's often overlooked of erling harland that beyond all of his very
42:55obvious properties his strength and bulk and power he does have a deafness of touch
43:04a feather-like version of him too
43:15yeah donilo for a gemaraish by martinelli up by mollavulfa
43:22sander burger was caught late by martinelli the referee waited to see whether advantage would accrue it
43:29didn't yes certainly the ref in this first half has tried to let the match flow he's waved away
43:34appeals for fouls
43:38on that occasion
43:43he did acknowledge that foul as soon as it happened
43:47but uh waited to see how the ball would bounce
44:02so off and wide is just inside of him there is
44:10so
44:27collects
44:28I'm done.
44:32Okay.
44:35Roussa.
44:40It's looking back by Ryan.
44:43It's from Marquinhos.
44:47And he's shifted out for Bruno Gibberish.
44:54Samiro.
45:06Ryan.
45:11Roussa in reverse.
45:13Did we not going outside of Ryan?
45:20Nice.
45:22Ryan.
45:26Casemiro.
45:28Pulled by Heggen.
45:33To Nilo.
45:34Come on.
45:51Slam out towards Vinicius Junior.
45:54Engaged with Reherson.
45:56he's done very well to get between ball and man now
45:59but Vinicius Junior stole it back
46:01Martinelli, Vinicius Junior
46:03kneeling to Norway's rescue again
46:09he's having the blinders to the goalkeeper
46:14he gets the ball
46:17Vinicius Junior to set up this chance
46:25Vinicius Junior with the corner
46:29but he's giving it away to Lusa
46:32Lusa can't progress
46:38all the way back
46:51that one squeak away from him
46:56another so ago another moment escaped him
46:59yeah a bit of a toe poke in the end
47:01but Milan makes sure he doesn't squeeze through his legs
47:07from a very similar angle and range
47:11that he did score in that very net
47:13Brazil's first game against Morocco
47:37well again
47:40battering first with Marquinhos
47:41and that is old mate Gabriel
47:45they know each other inside out
47:47remember me pal
47:51yeah it's a super heavyweight contest
47:54in terms of stars as well as muscle
48:05he's up
48:08Harland
48:10Erdegaard angles
48:11Clivey wins a corner
48:17remember at the moment
48:18Norway
48:18not quite as many as Brazil
48:21but
48:22finishing the half well
48:51closing in on half-time
48:53Berg with the corner
48:54Berger with the corner
48:57Lusa's kept it alive
48:59Reherson put it forward
49:02and then
49:04locks it into the waiting arms of Alisson
49:27Cunha
49:29and Cunha again
49:32finishes
49:34oh Heggen that time
49:35with the misplaced pass
49:37nearly put his team
49:38bang in trouble
49:39Reherson with a good pass
49:40has got his team on the front foot
49:42this is Solok
50:03well they have scored in every first half of their world cup so far
50:09nothing had a time to repeat that now
50:12showing some resilience in this first half
50:15Norway yeah
50:16let off the hook with a penalty
50:17but
50:18they've had a bit to say
50:19as well
50:21in possession
50:22going towards that Brazil back line
50:25and
50:49through
50:53also
50:55who
51:01we live up towards surlott seen okay by santos chased up willingly by burger and then in turn
51:08by harland norway full of bustles martin urdegaard alexander surlott risk
51:24burger solo haven't been able to get many balls into the box many crosses certainly no way
51:32the champions are the knicks and there is their leader overlooking
51:39two here who would consider themselves to be potential champions of the world
51:49we should throw incoming
51:55the higher kept out by cunha
52:00real silly settle for a corner
52:04minutes into six at it on at the end of the half
52:13well I can load it up again here
52:19these are the moments they can maximise optimise
52:24surlott burger harland heggen ayah
52:30little burg there to go and step on the goalkeeper's toes
52:37can't place it in surlott
52:39short to win the first header and vote for martinelli
52:49here's the moment they're up again at the end of the half
52:53very good
53:00so
53:01thank you
53:01and
53:07so
53:13Let it go
53:16Yes
53:27Turned into a more even contest last 10 minutes
53:33Say Brazil more capable of creating chances
53:36But Norway hanging in there now
53:47Before by Nieland, there's Haaland with Gabriel again
53:50Marquinhos came across to help him
53:57Whenever the ball comes up to Herling Haaland
54:00Those Norway players know they've got to support
54:03Latch on to the loose ball if there is one
54:06And there was one big centre-forward doing his job
54:11And there's Haaland with the first part of his
54:22It's nearly scurrying
54:24Ryan
54:24Danilo
54:29Kimmerich
54:31Santos
54:43Nice
54:45And it's just junior
54:54To have a wriggle again
54:58Nice and stuck with him
55:03Back in by Kimmerich
55:07And to Danilo
55:08Coats back in by Casemiro
55:10And Martinelli couldn't get big enough
55:16Interesting if he did time his run well
55:18Whether he did stay on side that first time pass
55:21Allowed him
55:22To time it perfectly
55:24And yeah
55:26It's not the best of jumps is it
55:28It should have done better
55:30Mistimed it
55:31Didn't get up
55:32Up the other end
55:34Look at that
55:35For centre-forward play
55:39Fair to say
55:40Odegaard maybe not the best finisher
55:41Around
55:42But he gets plenty behind it
55:46It's a good stop for Malisson
55:55I've had four shots of goal
55:57And Odegaard's had three of them
56:01Which feels a bit quirky
56:21Noosa
56:24Berger
56:27Oh the club was close to goal
56:34It's nearly squeezed off it
56:36Because you're getting on with it
56:42Vinicius Junior
56:42Last seconds of the half now
56:47He's got to the byline
56:49And the ball
56:50And he's beyond the byline
56:54Christopher
56:57Telling his opponent
56:58That he felt
56:58He went to ground
56:59Far too easily
57:04That's a shirt pull
57:08That's what he's got away with
57:14And that'll do for the first half
57:16And this game is
57:18Beautifully on edge
57:19Goal as though it is
57:20Neyland is
57:21Norway's hero
57:22For a penalty save
57:23Which followed on
57:25From Aja's late challenge
57:27On Kunja
57:29Martin Odegaard has come closest
57:30To scoring for Norway
57:32But Alisson has stood
57:33Between him and the net
57:34And at the break
57:35On a close day
57:37In New Jersey
57:39Remains here
57:40Brazil nil
57:41Norway nil
