Pedersen broke the deadlock on 43 minutes and you could feel Senegal mentally checking the schedule, then Haaland turned up after the break and treated the box like his personal living room, twice, before anyone thought to close the door.

Sarr decided he was not done, pulling one back on 53 and another in stoppage time, which is admirable timing for everything except the scoreboard, because the second one arrived roughly the moment the points had already booked their flight home.

Norway spent the last half hour doing their best impression of a side trying to lose a three-goal lead, and to their credit they only managed to lose two of the goals, which in this match counts as defensive discipline.
