Erling Haaland struck twice, including a 74th-minute winner, to help Norway edge past Denmark 3-2 in Oslo and earn its first competitive win over its opponents.
“It tasted sweet. It feels great to beat our neighbours,” captain Martin Odegaard said. “There is a lot we could have done better, but even when we were put under pressure, we found a way back and responded.”
The Danes had powered back from a two-goal deficit and levelled on the hour after first-half goals from Oscar Bobb and Haaland had put the host 2-0 up.
Norway was left with 10 men in stoppage time after David Moller Wolfe was sent off following a second booking.
