Collapse! Gattuso couldn t believe it: creating a 70-year shameful record, Haaland led the team to the World Cup

A focus battle in the first stage of the European World Cup qualifiers begins. Italy faces Norway at home. Italy achieved a record of 6 wins and 1 loss in the first 7 group matches. Such a record is already outstanding. But unfortunately, Norway won all the first seven group matches, causing Italy to be suppressed by Norway in the standings. Moreover, due to the disadvantage of goal difference, Italy needs to win by 9 goals in this last group match to directly advance to the World Cup. Obviously, this is almost impossible. As a result, Italy not only failed to win, but was kicked out of a double-player, ranking second and having to play in the play-offs.

In this game, Italy arranged a 352 formation. Retegui and Pio Esposito partnered as a double striker. The five midfielders of Politano, Frattesi, Locatelli, Varela and Dimarco attacked together. The back three of Di Lorenzo, Gianluca Mancini and Bastoni started. Donnarumma serves as the starting goalkeeper. Italy's starting lineup is worth a total of 412 million euros, while Norway's starting lineup is worth a total of 329 million euros.

Italy got off to a very good start and broke through Norway in the 11th minute. Pio turned and volleyed in the penalty area and scored. Norway played conservatively at the beginning. As the game progressed, Norway's offense became more and more sharp, and they equalized the score in the 63rd minute. Nousa broke into the penalty area and scored with a blast. This goal was entirely based on personal ability. This goal boosted Norway's morale. Then Norway's goals came one after another.

Harland received a pass from Bob in the 78th minute and scored directly with a volley to help Norway take the lead. Immediately afterwards, Haaland scored again. He scored from the center of the penalty area. At the last moment of the game, Jurgen Larsson scored to kill the game. Norway played really crazy, scoring 4 goals in a row and beating Italy. Gattuso couldn't believe it. The final score was settled at 1-4, with Italy losing miserably to Norway. Although Italy is ranked 9th in the world, it is a bit incredible that they play so poorly.

In this game, Italy had a ball possession rate of 58%, took 15 shots, 4 were on target, and scored 1 goal. Norway took fewer shots than Italy, with only 13 shots, but scored 4 goals. Norway is the second team in the history of World Cup qualifying to defeat Italy away from home. Gattuso created a record of shame in 70 years: this is the first time since 1955 that Italy has conceded 4 goals in a single home game. Norway won all 7 games and qualified for the World Cup. You must know that the last time Norway participated in the World Cup was in 1998.
