After 3-0! Norway team won all three games in the World Cup: It is expected to qualify for the top spot in the group, Italy is hanging

On June 7, the third round of the European competition in the World Cup qualifiers was held, with Norway playing against Italy at home, and it turned out to be a big upset. In this game, Norway defeated his opponent 3-0, achieved three consecutive wins in the World Cup, and continued to rank first in the group.

Due to participating in the UEFA Nations League match, the Italian team was bye in the first two rounds, so they played 2 games less than Norway. This game is also the first appearance of the Italian team in this World Cup qualifiers. Unexpectedly, this traditional European giant suffered a crushing defeat.

The first half took only 14 minutes, and Norway had broken the deadlock on the court. Italy made a mistake in the frontcourt pass, Norway made a quick counterattack after interception, Sollot hit the ball forward, and facing Donnarumma, he calmly shot and scored a low shot, and Norway made a perfect start 1-0.

0-1, Italy pushed back, which also led to more confusion in their defense. In the 34th minute, Noosa cut inside and scored, and the score became 2-0. 8 minutes later, Odegao made a direct pass to help Haaland get a one-on-one opportunity. He passed Donnarumma and finally pushed the empty goal at a small angle, rewriting the score to 3-0. In the second half, Italy was unable to turn the tables and eventually suffered a bad start to the World Cup qualifiers.

After this game, Norwegian team won three consecutive victories in this World Cup qualifiers and continued to rank first in Group I. In this group, Norwegian's biggest competitor is Italy. Now, the first round of home victory over his opponent will undoubtedly greatly enhance Norwegian's confidence. Next, as long as they stay in shape, they will definitely have hope of qualifying for the top spot in the group. As for the Italian team, after their debut defeat, it became even more difficult for them to compete for the top spot in the group. The Italian team no longer had room to lose points. If they missed the first place in the group and unfortunately played in the playoffs, the result would be hard to say.

According to the rules, this European World Cup qualifiers are divided into 12 groups, among which the teams with the first group are directly promoted to the World Cup, and the 12 second group and the 4 best teams with the UEFA League playoffs (excluding the teams that have already won the first and second group) to compete for 4 World Cup places. Due to the expansion of this World Cup, Europe has won 16 places, which is definitely a big opportunity for Norwegian team. So far in their career, Haaland and Ode's senior superstars have not participated in the World Cup. I hope that this time they can lead the team to break this fate!
