Norway fans head to Royal Palace at four am after last-32 spot

Norway secured a place in the last 32 of the World Cup by beating Senegal 3-2. Around four am in Oslo, supporters headed to the Royal Palace to celebrate.

The Royal House said it was delighted with the men's national team's victory, reflecting the mood across the country. It was unclear whether Harald V, 89, had his sleep disturbed.

There, a large crowd chanted that they would wake the king. The impromptu gathering swelled quickly in the still-dark capital.

Norwegian fans have taken their rowing celebration from the stands to Times Square, and now to the monarchs' residence. The jubilant scenes followed a win sealed in the early hours.

After 28 years without a World Cup, the country is ready to revel in goals from Erling Haaland and company.
