    Northern Ireland 1-3 Norway

    Norway are looking comfortable as they just spray the ball around the back. Only a couple of minutes until the break.

    Norway have a free-kick and all 10 outfield players are in the opposition half for it. Kristoffer Ajer is offside though and NI have a free out.

    It's good pressure from Norway. Again, you see Erling Haaland putting the players under pressure. Every single time they have the ball, you see him running straight on to the Northern Ireland players.

    The Norwegian back line are defending pretty deep. Northern Ireland just have to build the passes up a little bit more.

    Northern Ireland 1-3 Norway

    A terrible pass gives Norway a chance and Daniel Ballard clatters Erling Haaland. The referee lets play go on and Alexander Sorloth has a shot blocked before Mathias Normann sends a bicycle kick over the bar.

    Norway are having fun out there. The referee comes back and books Ballard.

    Northern Ireland 1-3 Norway

    Northern Ireland have conceded three goals in the first half of a game for the first time since June 2012, when they shipped four in the first period against the Netherlands in a 6-0 away defeat.

    Netherlands 0-0 Italy

    Been a tight contest in Amsterdam but Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum breaks through from midfield but his low drive from the edge of the box is comfortable for Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to gather.

    This is the first time I've seen Erling Haaland live and you can see what all the fuss is about. He has the complete package of a centre-forward.

    This is the first time Northern Ireland have conceded three times at home since October 2017 against Germany, a 3-1 defeat.

    Norway have had three shots so far - and scored them all. Northern Ireland have had four efforts, but only scored one.

    Don't often get a start to international football like that, do you?

    With four goals in the first 19 minutes, it almost took your mind off the fact the stadium is empty. Almost, but not quite.

    New NI boss Ian Baraclough, in his first home game in charge, has been a constant presence on the edge of his technical area below the South Stand.

    He seems keen to get a lot of instructions to young centre-half Daniel Ballard, and he might appreciate those as he looks to keep out the impressive Haaland.

    The Green and White Army would have been shell-shocked by that third goal but would no doubt have just been finding their voice again.

    Alexander Sorloth is technically a Crystal Palace player but he's halfway through a two-year loan spell with Trabzonspor in Turkey,

    How Steven Davis would love to score on his record-equalling night. The Norway keeper passes the ball straight to George Saville, who squares it to Davis but the Rangers midfielder fires over the bar.

    Again, it's far too easy. It's a great first-time ball to the back post. Alexander Sorloth is there and it's an easy tap-in. The goalkeeper has no chance.
