Ryerson Celebrates Another World Championship Victory with Norway | OneFootball

Norway has achieved the greatest success in its national team’s history: The 2-1 victory in front of more than 80,000 spectators at New York-New Jersey Stadium against five-time champion Brazil is one of the biggest upsets of the current World Cup tournament. Julian Ryerson was also back in the Vikings’ starting lineup. The Borussia Dortmund fullback had suffered a thigh injury at the end of June in Norway’s second group stage match against Senegal (3–2) and was substituted early on. The Borussia Dortmund player subsequently missed the following World Cup matches against France (1–4) and the Ivory Coast (2–1).

Now, Ryerson returned to the Norwegian team under head coach Stale Solbakken against Brazil and put in a strong performance. With high intensity and great fighting spirit, the BVB player worked tirelessly down Norway’s right flank and remained on the field for 62 minutes during his return to the starting lineup. During that time, he recorded 72 touches and a 93 percent pass completion rate, among other stats, and got the better of Brazil’s Vinicius Junior in several duels.

Haaland Scores Both Goals for Norway

Once again, Erling Haaland was the undisputed hero for Norway. The former BVB striker scored both of Norway’s goals against the Seleção. Haaland played for Borussia Dortmund from 2020 to 2022 and scored 62 goals in 67 Bundesliga matches. This coming Saturday, Norway will play in the first World Cup quarterfinal in the nation’s history. Their opponent will be England at 11 p.m. German time.
