FT: Norway 3-0 Northern Ireland (7-0 agg)
Caroline Graham Hansen, Frida Maanum and Synne Jensen on target as hosts complete comprehensive win
Norway qualify for 13th straight Euros
Norway 1-0 Northern Ireland (Agg 5-0)
How on earth did that not go in?!
Maren Mjelde smashes the ball against the crossbar from three yards. I think Joely Andrews gets a crucial touch as she raced off the line, but that should have been two!
Then, from the rebound, Jackie Burns pulls off a superb save to deny Frida Maanum.

I would like to see Northern Ireland be more physical with Norway.
They are world class players and they don't want any players putting tackles in against them. You want to put a little bit of fear into them.

Rebecca McKenna has to put the ball out for another corner after Graham Hansen looked to latch onto the ball.
Northern Ireland are living dangerously here.

Rebecca Holloway dives in to make a superb tackle to stop Karina Saevik from tapping home the rebound.

It's a soft goal for Northern Ireland to concede. As soon as Caroline Graham Hansen gets into the box we need to be putting pressure on the ball. We can't afford to let a player of her quality have time or space.

Ada Hegerberg is so close to adding a second!
Graham Hansen is at the centre of it all again as she bursts into the area and plays a low ball across goal.
Hegerberg is stretching for it and gets a touch, but it's narrowly wide of he post.

Jackie Burns will be disappointed that she let that one squirm underneath her but Caroline Graham Hansen showed great footwork in the build up to that goal and she now has 50 for Norway.
I dare say she won't finish there.
Northern Ireland will need to pick themselves up again after what was a good start.
Caroline Graham Hansen (13 mins)
Who else would it be?!
Caroline Graham Hansen shows some great footwork in the area and sits down a couple of players.
She shoots low across goal and Jackie Burns isn't able to keep it out.
It didn't have a lot of power and Rebecca Holloway almost hacked it away, but it was too late by that point.
Norway 0-0 Northern Ireland (Agg 4-0)
Rebecca Holloway does really well to cut out a long ball by Caroline Graham Hansen.
Emilie Woldvik was about to race into the area if she didn't deal with that.

A combination of Rebecca McKenna and Nat Johnson manage to hack the ball away.

Northern Ireland will be disappointed there. It was a quick corner and Northern Ireland were slow to get out to that initial ball.
If there had have been a long range shot, you never know what would have happened.

Maanum finds Graham Hansen in the area but Laura Rafferty races across to stick the ball out for a corner.

It's played short before being whipped into the area.
It's a good ball and Maren Mjelde attacks it, but her header is straight at Jackie Burns.

McCarron is forced into conceding a corner as she cuts out Hegerberg's dangerous pass.

Norway come forward through Saevik but Chloe McCarron does well to force her to run the ball out of play.

Simone Magill goes on a run down the right but she has to check back to find a green shirt.
Northern Ireland are having a decent spell in possession here, which they couldn't really do on Friday.

Defensively I think we'll set up more like we did in the second half. Anything can happen in football and we have to have a bit of belief.
Norway 0-0 Northern Ireland (Agg 4-0)
Norway are on the attack from the first whistle and Frida Maanum's cross drifts just beyond the far post.
Norway 0-0 Northern Ireland (Agg 4-0)
Off we go!
Will Norway add to their aggregate lead or can Northern Ireland pull off an almighty shock?
It's time to find out!
Norway v Northern Ireland (17:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesNorthern Ireland defender Laura Rafferty says that her side needs to be "brave and aggressive" in the second leg of their Euro 2025 play-off against Norway on Tuesday.
Tanya Oxtoby's side trail 4-0 from the first leg after a ruthless Norway display at Inver Park that all but ended their hopes of reaching back-to-back European Championships.
But Rafferty wants Northern Ireland to produce a performance to be proud of in the second leg in Oslo with the pressure all on their hosts in a game that will broadcast live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
"We want to give a good account of ourselves, we want to be competing against the top teams and we don't want there to be that difference that people are used to seeing," she told BBC Sport NI.
"The more aggressive and brave we are, the better and having nothing to fear and that will be a positive stance for us."
Watch: Norway secure place at Euro 2025 with Northern Ireland win
Caroline Graham Hansen scored her 50th goal for Norway as they beat Northern Ireland 3-0 in the second leg of their Euro 2025 play-off final to complete a comprehensive 7-0 aggregate victory at Ullevaal Stadion.
Norway's place at next summer's tournament in Switzerland was all but secured after a dominant 4-0 first leg win in Larne.
They were similarly ruthless at home as Arsenal's Frida Maanum and substitute Synne Jensen added to Graham Hansen's early opener to seal Norway's 13th successive Euros appearance.
While Norway can look forward to a place in the finals in Switzerland, Northern Ireland must now regroup in time for the start of the Nations League campaign in February after falling short in their bid to make a second straight European Championship.
Northern Ireland produced a spirited performance against a side packed with world-class talent
Tanya Oxtoby said she wanted her side to be "brave" and they started much better than they did in the first leg.
The visitors set up in the same 5-3-2 formation they deployed in the second half of the first leg that worked so well with Chloe McCarron coming in for Danielle Maxwell in the only change.
They were aggressive with their press from the off and stemmed the Norway flow for 13 minutes before a bit of Graham Hansen magic broke the deadlock in the bitter cold in Oslo.
The Barcelona forward glided into the box and weaved past two challenges before seeing her low shot from a narrow angle squirm under Burns and into the net.
Twelve of Graham Hansen's half century of Norway goals have now come against Northern Ireland.
She almost turned provider two minutes later as she delivered a teasing ball to the far post which Ada Hegerberg diverted just past the far post.
The relentless Norway pressure kept coming and Burns was forced to tip away a low effort from Maanum before Rebecca Holloway produced a superb block to prevent Karina Saevick from tucking home on the rebound.
Returning captain Maren Mjelde rattled the crossbar from close range from a corner with Burns again on hand to turn away another powerful strike from Maanum moments later.
Wade went close for Northern Ireland in a rare first-half venture forward
The busy Burns thwarted a curling effort from Graham Hansen and a header from Hegerberg before Ingrid Engen's shot from distance clipped the post and drifted wide.
It was Northern Ireland who ended the half with a rare foray forward as Lauren Wade let fly with a long-distance strike which Cecilie Fiskerstrand was able to gather at the second attempt.
Norway were fast out of the blocks in the second half, doubling their lead two minutes after the break as they latched onto a defensive lapse from Northern Ireland.
Burns played a short pass to Rebecca McKenna which Maanum intercepted before drilling low past the goalkeeper at her near post.
Grainger's side continued to dominate possession, but Northern Ireland kept battling, with Holloway thrashing high and wide at the other end after a good move.
Substitute Jensen added a third on 77 minutes as her deflected effort looped over Burns following a wicked deflection by Rebecca McKenna.
