Mourinho gets a sly dig after war of words with Benfica striker | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup started the match, played 81 minutes, and assisted the equalizing goal in the Norway - New Zealand game, which ended in a 1-1 draw. At the end of the match, the Benfica forward threw a subtle jab at José Mourinho, who had recently issued a warning to the winger.

"I think he watched the game. From Portugal? Yes. I'm looking forward to returning to the warmth [of Portugal]. There are a lot of cool games ahead, so it will be good," said the Benfica forward, taking a dig at the coach, after Mourinho stated that the Nordic player "is not a 90-minute player."

The Benfica forward described the match as "a bit strange," despite his good individual performance: "There were 11 new players [compared to Norway's last starting eleven] and we only had one training session to prepare. We had a poor first half, but we were much better in the second. We created a lot more and put on a bit of a show for the stadium, but of course, we're sad not to have won."

The Benfica player ended up being substituted in the 81st minute, when the score was 1-1—the result with which the match would end. It's worth noting that Norway is in a very strong position to qualify for the World Cup, with six wins from as many games, currently three points ahead of Italy in their World Cup qualifying group.
