Norway vs Senegal LIVE: FIFA World Cup Group I score, commentary, updates & stats


HALF-TIMEpublished at 01:50 BST

Norway 1-0 Senegal

It could be 3-0 but Norway do at least have a deserved lead at the break.

Martin Odegaard spurned two good chances to open the scoring, being denied by Edouard Mendy on the second occasion, but Kalidou Koulibaly presented sub Marcus Pedersen with the chance to break the deadlock shortly before the break with a low shot which snuck through Mendy at his near post.

The keeper then almost gifted Erling Haaland a second, only for the Man City man to thud the post from an angle with the goal at his mercy.

Senegal have offered very little. As things stand Norway are joining France in the Round of 32 tonight.
