No matter the result of tonight's match, we are about to see World Cup history unfold, as neither Ivory Coast nor Norway has ever secured a victory in a knockout game within this tournament. Norway has made it to the knockout rounds on two occasions, in 1938 and 1998, but unfortunately fell to Italy on both instances. On the other hand, this marks Ivory Coast's inaugural advancement beyond the group stage, and they are striving to continue their already remarkable journey.
