Côte d'Ivoire — Norway

I-AT&T Stadium e-Arlington isinikeze ipharadox ezoshisa izimpikiswano izinsuku ezimbalwa. Isikolo sisho into eyodwa – i-xG ihlebela okunye okuhluke kakhulu. INorway ibilawula cishe kuzo zonke izinkomba ezibalulekile: i-xG 2.02 uma kuqhathaniswa ne-1.36, ukubamba ibhola ngo-53%, ukunemba kokudlula ngo-88%. Babefanelwe yiwini – kodwa badlale imizuzu engamashumi amabili yokugcina, bekwazi ukuyisindisa. U-Antonio Nusa ube yinhlansi yesiwombe sokuqala – eqondile, engenalo uvalo, ehlale edlula ngemuva kwabadlali abavikilayo. Igoli ngomzuzu wama-39 laba umvuzo ofanele. Kodwa ikhadi eliphuzi ngesikhathi esengeziwe esiwombeni sokuqala lanciphisa ithonya lakhe, futhi wagcina eseshintshiwe ngomzuzu wama-71. Isifo esikhulu seNorway – ukumosha: amathuba amakhulu amane, amathathu aphuthelwe. Uma udlala neqembu elinekhono langempela lokuhlasela, lokhu kuyisimemo sokuhlupheka. I-Côte d'Ivoire ibingeyona into nje eyisimanga. Amakhona ayishumi nane – iqembu belicindezela futhi likholwa. Kodwa ihora lokuqala lomdlalo libukeka liboshiwe: ukudlula kubikezelwe kakhulu, isakhiwo siqinile kakhulu. Ukushintsha kabili ngomzuzu wama-60 kwashintsha yonke into. U-Amad Diallo wangena – futhi ngemva kwemizuzu eyishumi nane walungisa isikolo ngokuzola komdlali owazalelwa izikhathi ezinjalo. Isilinganiso esingu-9.64, umdlali ohamba phambili enkundleni. Lokhu akuyona into nje engahleliwe – lokhu kuyisitatimende. Abakwazanga ukugcina umfutho. Ngomzuzu wama-86 u-Haaland wajezisa ukudideka kwesikhashana endaweni yokujezisa – igoli alishaya ngokungenakuphikiswa. Unozinti waseNorway u-Ørjan Nyland (8.19) wenza izinto ezine ezisindisayo futhi akazange avumele i-Côte d'Ivoire ukuba ibuye futhi. Umphumela ongu-2:1 ovuna iNorway ulungile ngokuqondile, kodwa uyabukeka ngesikolo. I-xG ithi – abaseNorway babefanelwe yiwini; umdlalo uthi – abase-Ivorian babefanelwe okungaphezulu. Ku-FootLegion amagoli ezwe lakho akekho ozowathatha – ngokungafani nalokho okwenzeka enkundleni. Imibuzo yezingxoxo: ukushintsha kabili kwe-Côte d'Ivoire ngomzuzu wama-60 – ubuciko obuhle bokuhlela obubambezelekile noma ukuvuma iphutha ekuhleleni kokuqala? Futhi iNorway izohamba ibanga elingakanani kuma-play-offs uma iqhubeka nokumosha amathuba amakhulu amathathu ngomdlalo ngamunye?
