In the ancient contest between possession and precision, Norway and Côte d'Ivoire offered a vivid parable at Dallas Stadium on June 30: that controlling the game and winning it are not always the same thing. Erling Haaland, arriving in the 85th minute like a verdict long delayed, settled the argument with a close-range finish that sent Norway into the World Cup Round of 16. Côte d'Ivoire commanded the ball, the territory, and much of the narrative — yet Norway, patient and disciplined, converted the moments that mattered into the only currency that counts in knockout football.
