Match report

Erling Haaland marked Norway's first World Cup in 28 years with a first-half brace, either side of a proud moment for Iraq as Aymen Hussein rose to head in Amir Al Ammari's cross and become only the second Iraqi to score at a World Cup. Leo Ostigard powered in a header from a corner to make it three, and Hussein's night ended cruelly when he turned a stoppage-time own goal past his own keeper. Iraq, back at the finals after 40 years, were beaten but far from disgraced. Watch the full Iraq vs Norway highlights above.
