Match report in news

  • 90'
    FULL TIME! Sudden, late action sees Norway take a point away from this game as Spain commit a penalty in the 3rd minute of added time. Spain far from their best and Norway fought it out until the end, a well deserved point for Norway!
  • 90'
    King takes the penalty, and coolly slots it into the back of the net! Norway have sealed themselves a point now and Spain may well drop their first points of this campaign. A well deserved point for Norway!
  • 90'
    Norway have themselves a stoppage time penalty, as Kepa comes out of his box and fouls Elabdellaoui as he makes no contact with the ball, no advantage as King misses the shot and Norway have a chance to make it level!
  • 86'
    Spain have a chance to slow things down again as they make a change, Bernat comes off and Martinez comes on

    Fabian gets the yellow card now as he elbows Aleesami in the face whilst going in for the challenge.
  • 80'
    Sergio Ramos goes into the book, which means he will be suspended for Spain's next game, as he handballs the ball.
  • 77'
    Subsitution for Spain, as they are just starting to let Norway in due to going a bit slack, therefore they need to sort this out. Rodri comes on, Oyarzabal comes off!
  • 71'
    Great defending for Spain, who threw men in the way, Sorloth crosses to Selnaes, who heads the balll, but is blocked brilliantly by Spain for a corner.
  • 68'
    A loose pass from Norway opens things up for Spain and they have a shot, but Cazrola's shot heads straight for the keeper

  • 60'

  • 58'
    The corner comes to nothing and Norway try to counter as King makes a run down the pitch. That also does not end successfully with the ball being cleared out for a corner.
  • 57'
    Spain have had a few good runs down the pitch and into their box, they now have a corner as they try to double the lead
  • 50'
    Spain now look in the mood for this game and Norway will have trouble getting back into it!!
  • 46'
    Norway's resistence is broken and what a fabulous start for Spain as Bernat puts in a great ball for Saul, who hits the target from the edge of the box, gets the dip and goes into the back of the net! Norway switched off and paid the price for it!
  • 46'
    GOALLLLL!!!!
  • 45'
    The second half is underway!
  • 45'
    Half time sees it goalless! Norway have done enough to prove that they can give Spain a game and Spain look switched off at times, which could prove fatal in the second half of this game!
  • 45'
    Ayer didn't get the right contact on the corner as he has a free header, but it goes just wide of the goal
  • 45'
    Corner for Norway as Navas heads a cross away!

  • 41'
    Josh King gets a yellow card as he stamps on Saul's foot. Saul seems okay to continue!
  • 39'
    Corner for Spain going into the final 5 minutes of the first half! The ball is crossed into the near post, but Saul heads it well over the net.
  • 38'
    What a moment that could have been for Norway! As Elabdellaoui gets the ball crossed into him, but takes too long with it and the keeper easily saves the ball.

a España
  • 35'
    Rodrigo goes into the book for a nasty foul on Ajer, who gets his foot stamped on! Free kick for Norway
  • 29'
    Nordtveit in increasing trouble as he goes down, clearly still feeling the injury he picked up earlier. Norway forced to make the change because of this. His 52nd cap is not going to be that memorable! Hovland is his replacement
  • 27'
    Norway have a corner as Spain look rather switched off and have to clear the Norway shots. Norway do a short corner, but it does not come to anything
  • 26'
    This is a historic night for Sergio Ramos as he becomes the most capped player for Spain, having played 168 games. I'm sure he would like nothing better than to top off this historic night with a goal
  • 25'
    The corner comes to nothing as Norway head it away, but Spain manage to get hold of the ball again and press a little more. Spain looking the more threatening of the two sides at the moment.
  • 24'
    Corner for Spain as they start to press a lot more and Norway have to defend well.
  • 23'
    Saul has a hot at the goal, but it is rather weak and Jarstein saves it easily.
  • 21'
    Norway has the first real shot at goal of the whole game, 20 minutes in! They have some good play, as King runs up the pitch, crosses the ball into the box, which is then cleared away, Elabdellaoui cross sees King get his head on it, but the ball goes straight to the keeper and Kepa manages to deal with it.
  • 16'
    Nordtveit goes down injured in his own box and has to go off for treatment. He comes back on a few minutes later!
  • 15'
    Spain putting a lot of balls into the box, but there never seems to be a player that can get on the end of it, their final chance saw Navas cross a ball across the box, with Saul and Ceballos on the far post, but none of them could get to the ball on time.
  • 11'
    Rodrigo fouls Johansen and he goes down, free kick for Norway, but in their own area!
  • 9'
    Norway starting to grow into the game a bit more now, as they are having a few runs and pressing a bit more! No real chances have been created by either side yet!
  • 4'
    Big shout for a Norway penalty as Berge goes down in the box, but the referee waves it away! Norway's first time in the box at the start of this game!
  • 3'
    Spain have started off the better of the two sides, as they are pressing a lot and putting Norway under a bit of pressure!
