Kylian Mbappé scored twice to move past Pelé and Lionel Messi with 14 World Cup goals, Bradley Barcola added another and France rebounded from a surprisingly poor first half to beat Senegal 3-1 Tuesday.
Action to kick-off soon as we will have the national anthems first prior to the live action from Boston.
Iraq 0-0 Norway
Peep, peep! Here we go. Kick-off in Boston.
Iraq 0-0 Norway 1'
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'
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'
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'
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'
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'
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'
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'
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.
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.
Norway lead Iraq via 2-1 scoreline but both side's defences look weak and this could get wild come second half.
We are back under way for the second half in Boston.
Iraq 1-2 Norway
Iraq picking up right where they left off in the first half. They are not petrified of the NOR attack and are looking to create chances and find that elusive equaliser.
Iraq 1-2 Norway
Norway look so good when they attack but are shaky whilst defending. IRQ need to be given credit as to how they have thwarted every NOR attack.
Iraq 1-2 Norway
Graham Arnold rings in the changes as Manchester-born Zidane Iqbal makes way to become the first Pakistan-heritage player to represent Iraq. Here's more to know about HERE! Ali Al-Hamadi and Zaid Ismael have gone off.
Iraq 1-2 Norway
Norway are under pressure and it seems some of the players are getting leggy. NOR manager has seen enough and is ready to call on his bench.
Iraq 1-2 Norway
Arsenal's Premier League winner Martin Odegaard has had a quiet game. He's made some good moves but literally been off the radar for most of the game has gone on.
Iraq 1-2 Norway
Leo Ostigard scores his side's third goal and that could well and truly be the game's killer goal.
Iraq 1-3 Norway
We are into the first of six minutes added on at the end of the second half.
A winning return to the World Cup for Norway with their star forward Erling Haaland grabbing a brace. The Man City forward follows Kylian Mbappe, who earlier grabbed a brace as well.
Iraq 1-4 Norway
