Their tournament
how their World Cup unfoldedIvory Coast gave Norway a genuine contest in the Round of 32, pulling level through Diallo on 74 minutes after falling behind to Nusa's first-half opener — only for Haaland to settle it with four minutes remaining, a late hammer blow that extinguished the comeback. The Elephants depart a tournament they had navigated with enough promise to suggest they belonged, yet ultimately could not withstand Norway's cutting edge when it mattered most.
