Match Details
The match was played in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in front of a predominantly Brazilian crowd. Norway seemed to leap out to a lead in the first few minutes with a goal by Patrick Berg, but it was quickly ruled offside. The remainder of the first half was underwhelming, with both teams making plenty of plays but failing to finish them.
