Iraq Vs Norway LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup: Haaland Double Sees NOR Lead Against IRQ In Boston

Norway lead Iraq via 2-1 scoreline but both side's defences look weak and this could get wild come second half.

Aymen Hussein had scored for IRQ via a bullet-header that saw Norway goalie Orjan Nyland struggle to get hold of. A superb goal that was cancelled out by Haaland.

Erling Haaland (Norway) right footed shot from very close range to the centre of the goal. A mistake from the IRQ defence including their skipper cum goalie which results in NOR scoring.

Erling Haaland (Norway) left footed shot from very close range to the top right corner. Assisted by David Møller Wolfe with a cross.

Iraq 0-1 Norway 28'

Some quick feet from Antonio Nusa earns Norway a free-kick but the NOR players fail to make it count as Sorloth's effort is a tame one.

Iraq 0-0 Norway 24'

Norway win a corner and it is swung in neatly that falls into the path of the Man City forward but the latter cannot direct it goalwards.

Iraq 0-0 Norway 20'

All attention may have been on Erling Haaland but as of now, Antonio Nusa is showing glimpses of real quality with the RB Leipzig man really getting on the ball.

Iraq 0-0 Norway 16'

Iraq are pressing very well. Al-Hamadi is neatly found and the Ipswich Town forward shoots it way into the stands but a chance nonetheless for the Asian giants.

Iraq 0-0 Norway 12'

Haaland shrugs off his Zaid Tahseen with ease and drives into the box, but his low cross is not good enough as it is easily collected by goalkeeper Jalal Hassan, who is also Iraq's captain.

Iraq 0-0 Norway 8'

Great start from NOR against the Iraqis. Haaland, Odegaard are getting involved in the game and it remains to be seen how the two EPL stalwarts get along as the game goes ahead.

Iraq 0-0 Norway 3'

Peep, peep! Here we go. Kick-off in Boston.
