– It is Ola (Sand, national team doctor) who keeps it going. But I wouldn’t bet my house on it, says Solbakken to news about whether Haaland will show up for Sunday’s game against Finland. The star player has been struggling with an injury recently and has been undergoing treatment in Barcelona. Without the Manchester City striker, Norway won 2-1 after a late goal. – We had many good periods and some less good ones. We were given the test by some new players, who had good experiences. All in all, I am satisfied, says Solbakken. Little was at stake before the private international match against Ireland in Dublin, and initially there was much that indicated just that. Even game and few chances. That was before Leo Skiri \u00d8stig\u00e5rd – in familiar style – decided to tower highest on a corner. Just before the break, the centre-back scored the first goal of the game. A good \u00d8rjan H\u00e5skjold Nyland contributed for a long time to Norway staying in the game, but the equalizer would eventually come. Alan Browne made it 1-1 in Dublin after a fine long shot. For a long time it seemed to be heading for a draw, but Ohi Omoijuanfo wanted it differently. The substitute fought for the ball in a duel with Ireland’s Nathan Collins, and Ohi was ready when he thumped the ball in from just over five metres. The score meant that Norway won the match 2\u20131. RULED: Ohi Omoijuanfo. Photo: Fredrik Varfjell \/ NTB – It’s incredibly delicious, that’s why I was brought in. To score a goal. It is a typical striker’s goal. It is suddenly in front of me, and then I knock it in. It’s rare that I don’t know where to go after scoring a goal. It was a good feeling, says Omoijuanfo to news. – That is somewhat his strength. He is a “fox in the box”. He shall have it. He took the chance he was given, says national team manager St\u00e5le Solbakke to news. Erling Braut Haaland has struggled with an injury and was not available for the match. Therefore, Omoijuanfo was brought into the squad at short notice and got his first international match in five years. – I was lucky to be taken out, after some illness and such. I was actually supposed to have a small family holiday, but when St\u00e5le called I was incredibly happy. The holiday was put aside, we’ll have to do that later, he says to TV2. – Maybe I got a bit of Haaland’s magic, adds the hero. SCORET: Leo Skiri \u00d8stig\u00e5rd led Norway in the lead. Photo: Fredrik Varfjell \/ NTB Signature scoring Before the match, there was little to indicate that it was “only” a private international match to be played in Dublin on Thursday evening. Because it was a completely Irish audience that welcomed St\u00e5le Solbakken and Norway. It was reported that just over 45,000 tickets had been sold before the match, but the official figure was probably somewhat lower. Those in attendance saw Ireland start offensively, but it was Norway who would get the first chance of the game with Strand Larsen. The Celta Vigo striker received the ball from an oblique angle and tapped in, but Ireland’s last defender Gavin Bazunu parried the shot. Norway had a couple of half-chances throughout the half, and five minutes before the break the score came. No one could stop \u00d8stig\u00e5rd when he rose highest and scored the lead goal for Norway. In stark contrast to earlier in the game, you could almost hear a pin drop as the Napoli player cheered for the goal. – It’s something I’ve been waiting for. I have had moments where I have been disappointed and cursed at myself. I’ve trained a lot on it, and gained confidence after the goal against Rangers. It is extremely delicious, says \u00d8stig\u00e5rd. He is praised by the experts. – We have the world’s best head player in \u00d8stig\u00e5rd. There is almost no one in the world who does it better than him, exclaimed TV 2 expert Yaw Amankwah in the channel’s studio broadcast. The man behind the corner? Norway’s captain Martin \u00d8degaard – who poked the ball on the forehead of the Napoli player. JUBILEE: \u00d8stig\u00e5rd here with Martin \u00d8degaard, who was involved in both goals for Norway. Photo: Fredrik Varfjell \/ NTB – We started a bit stupidly in the second half and gave the ball away a bit easily. It gets a bit chaotic, they also get a score. We keep our composure and get a goal from a set piece again, so that was nice, says national team captain Martin \u00d8degaard to news. Decided just before the end Norway acted solidly defensively throughout the first half, with \u00d8stig\u00e5rd in the lead, but after the break the game was to take on more fire. Ireland came out as a completely new team and pushed Solbakken’s men. Alan Browne was, among other things, very close to equalizing for Ireland shortly into the half. – Defending us worse than what we did in the first half, said news expert Carl-Erik Torp. And the Irish pressure would eventually pay off. The same Browne clinched from just over 20 meters shortly afterwards, and equalized at 1-1. Omoijuanfo decided the game just over five minutes five minutes before normal time. Norway meets Finland next Sunday at home in Ullevaal.
