🏆👉 Italy lost to Norway in the World Cup Qualifying match on Friday, June 6, 2025, at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo. Italy faced a tough defeat, losing 3-0 to Norway in their first match of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Sorloth scored in the 14th minute, followed by Nusa in the 34th minute, and Haaland in the 44th minute. Norway stays at the top of Group I with a perfect score, making it a challenging start for coach Spalletti’s team as they aim for first place.
Norway currently leads the standings with a perfect score after winning away games against Moldova (5-0) and Israel (4-2). This direct encounter is crucial against their main rival for the top spot, which guarantees direct entry to the world competition set to take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

Norway scores first in the 14th minute with a goal from Alexander Sorloth. They take the lead. Nusa dribbles across the field, shifts to the center, and delivers a pass to Sorloth, who is kept onside by Bastoni. The Atletico Madrid forward’s left-footed attempt goes under the legs of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who rushes out to narrow the angle for a shot at the near post.

Italy is in chaos. In the 34th minute, Norway extends their lead. Nyland’s goal kick is intercepted by Thorsby, who recovers the ball for Antonio Nusa. A slick pass between Rovella and Di Lorenzo leads to a powerful right-footed shot into the top corner, just under the crossbar, giving Donnarumma no opportunity to save it.
