Norway’s national football team secured a victory over Northern Ireland on Wednesday evening.

An own goal by Leeds player Stuart Dallas midway through the second half gave Norway a 1:0 victory against Northern Ireland.

Norway struggled to create chances against the Northern Irish team; however, it managed to increase the tempo in the second half.

After 67 minutes, Martin Ødegaard sent a free kick in high over the penalty box.

None of the Norwegians managed to reach the ball, but the ball hit Stuart Dallas and bounced into the goal.

The Norwegian team dominated in front of 200 enthusiastic fans at Ullevaal stadion but could not breach the guest team’s defensive wall.

This victory means that Norway has nine points after the first four matches in the league.
