    Slow burner and a little bit scrappy. Norway were dangerous but it's taken an error to score. Mendy should've done a lot better and kept that goal out.

    Lots of entertaining stuff I'm sure we will get a couple more goals in the second half.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 01:50 BST

    Norway 1-0 Senegal

    It could be 3-0 but Norway 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.

    Norway 1-0 Senegal

    So close to a second, and another gift.

    Edouard Mendy is closed down by Erling Haaland and coughs up possession, only for Haaland to send an angled shot into the near post, when another touch would have given him a better angle,

    Mendy clearly didn't watch Haaland's highlights from the Iraq game when he scored from a very similar moment.

    The ball is then crossed back in from the left and Haaland's downward header is well saved by the keeper down to his right.

  5. INJURY TIMEpublished at 45+1 min

    Norway 1-0 Senegal

    Into four added minutes at the end of the half.

    Martin Odegaard spurns the chance to tee up a Norway second before Senegal break themselves and Ismaila Sarr hooks a tame effort into the arms of Orjan Nyland.

    Mendy what are you doing? An awful error, I think that is a sign age is catching up to him with a mistake like that. Panic stations and the cover wasn't there.

    That was a horrible attempt to stop that from Mendy. Two errors from two of their most experienced players. Now they've got a mountain to climb.

    GOAL: Norway 1-0 Senegalpublished at 43 mins

    Marcus Pedersen

    A GIFT.

    Kalidou Koulibaly inexplicably passes the ball straight to Norway sub Marcus Pedersen just outside the box after a Norway break breaks down.

    The right-back drives into the box before firing in a low shot which sneaks past Edouard Mendy at his near post.

    He got a touch but couldn't prevent it creeping in.

    That's Pedersen's first international goal, and what a time to get it.

    Lamine Camara tries his luck from at least 30 yards out but he can only drag a low shot well past the left upright of Orjan Nyland's goal.

    Senegal yet to have a shot in target,

    A lovely ball to Haaland into the box. Straight into the knee of the goalkeeper who came out and closed down the box. A great save.

    The two best chances of the game have fallen to Odegaard.

    Norway 0-0 Senegal

    We've seen teasing crosses flashed across goal at both ends, with latest from Sander Berge is just a couple of yards too far ahead of Erling Haaland in the mixer, who looks to the heavens.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 37 mins

    Norway 0-0 Senegal

    Brilliant football.

    Antonio Nusa's ranging cross from the left is cushioned by Erling Haaland back across goal for Martin Odegaard.

    The Arsenal man takes the ball on his chest and unleashes a low half-volley which is brilliantly blocked by the sprawling Edouard Mendy.

    Wonderful chance goes begging, however.

    Norway 0-0 Senegal

    Kalidou Koulibaly latches onto a loose ball in the Norway half and strides forward but the big defender seems to trip over his own feet and fall flat on his face, though the ball breaks to a white shirt allowing them to continue the attack, which comes to nothing.

    All very bitty at present.

    Norway 0-0 Senegal

    Krepin Diatta channels his inner-Sunday morning player and inexplicably sends a routine pass clean out of play on the right just as Senegal were building a nice attack.

    Nice to see these elite athletes are capable of such things once in a while.

    Kristoffer Ajer makes a hash of a clearing header under a high ball and Sadio Mane works it to Nicolas Jackson on the left of the area, only for the Chelsea man to fire high and wide from an angle.

    Julian Ryerson is on the Norway bench with a massive ice pack on his right thigh.

    Not what you want to see from a key player less than halfway through the group stage.

    We're back underway after the interlude.

    The Norway fans are in good voice and have launched their 'Viking Row' in the stands.

    They packed out Times Square earlier today and are making the most of the first hydration break of the game to reprise their fun.

    It was a scrappy opening few minutes, quite entertaining. It's finally starting to settle down now.

    Meaty challenge by Fredrik Aursnes on Moussa Niakhate just outside the Senegal box but Wilton Sampaio keeps his cards in his pocket, for now.

    Antonio Nusa slides left for David Moller Wolfe to fire in a low cross level with the area but it's an easy claim for Edouard Mendy down low at his near post.
