The final result of the game disappointed Italian fans. Norway defeated the former World Cup champion Italian team 3-0 with the goals of Throt, Noosa and Haaland. The game ended. The Italian team, which had two rounds of bye rounds, suffered a black start in the World Cup qualifiers, while Norway won three consecutive games in the World Cup qualifiers and temporarily ranked first in the group standings.

The US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, Europe has 16 qualifying places, and the European World Cup is divided into two stages: group stage and play-off. During the group stage, 54 European teams are divided into 12 groups. The first in each group will directly obtain a qualifying place in the World Cup, and the other 4 World Cup main tournament tickets will be finalized through the playoffs. The Italian team was in the same group as Norway, Israel, Estonia and Moldova in the European qualifiers for the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. Since the Italian team participated in the UEFA Nations League, this is their first World Cup qualifiers. Before the game, Italy ranked 9th, while Norway was only ranked 38th. After the game started, in the 14th minute, Noosa assisted Serlot to score with a small angle in the frontcourt, Norway scored a perfect start with 1-0 Italy.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Odegao made a straight pass, Haaland passed Donnarumma and scored, Norway 3-0 Italy.

Norway led Italy 3-0 in just halftime, and this result was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Italy. Neither side made any achievements in the second half, and Italy eventually lost Norway 0-3 away.

With Italy's 0-3 defeat to Norway, four incredible and two established facts were born in this game:

Four incredible:

1. After losing 3 goals in this game, Italy tied the biggest score loss in the World Cup qualifiers. This is the fourth time Italy suffered a 3-goal defeat in the World Cup qualifiers. The most recent one was that it lost 0-3 to Spain in 2017, which has been 8 years since now.

2. This time, Italy was scored three consecutive goals by Norway in the first half of the World Cup. This is also the first time in the history of the Italian national team that it had conceded at least three goals in the first half of the World Cup. Spaletti's team set an embarrassing record.

3. With this 0-3 game, this is the first time in the history of the Italian national team that they lost two consecutive World Cup qualifiers, and it is also the first time that they did not score in three consecutive games in the World Cup qualifiers, which is undoubtedly a disastrous performance.

3. As a football powerhouse, Italy has not reached the World Cup for two consecutive years despite the decline of Serie A in the past 10 years. However, the Italian national team still gathered many well-known stars such as Barrera, Tonali, Donnarumma, but facing the Norwegian team, which ranked far below its own in the world, they did not shoot within the goal frame until the 92nd minute of the game. This is undoubtedly not just a problem with the team's strength. The team's tactics, head coach's on-the-spot command, and locker room should have problems.

2:

1. Haaland scored the third goal on the cake in this game, which also helped Norway win three consecutive games in the World Cup. They currently ranked first with 9 points. According to the rules of the European qualifiers, as long as Norway locks in the top spot in the group, they will directly advance to the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. Therefore, Norway undoubtedly has an absolute advantage in this group, and Haaland's dream of the first World Cup is expected to be realized.

2. With this 0-3 defeat, Italian coach Spalletti's position as the head coach is probably unstable. In an interview after the game, he also bluntly stated that he would be responsible for the crushing defeat and admitted that the Italian Football Association could do whatever they wanted, including the choice to fire him. Many Italian media and fans have begun to call on the Italian Football Association to fire Spaletti and ask the pot maker Ranieli to come out to help the Italian team overcome the difficulties.
