Late Erling Haaland winner takes Norway past Ivory Coast and into last 16

Late Erling Haaland winner takes Norway past Ivory Coast and into last 16

Published by Webster

4 min readNew DelhiJul 1, 2026 01:11 AM IST It had been 28 years since Norway last played a FIFA World Cup knockout game, but it was well worth the wait for the Nordic country when they beat a valiant Ivory Coast 2-1 with a late goal from, who else, Erling Haaland. The match seemed to be progressing towards extra time when the Manchester City phenom found the net with a rather fortuitous finish past goalkeeper Yahia Fofana after a square pass from Patrick Berg. The Scandinavians were set on their way by Antonio Nusa with a sumptuous curling strike in the first half, before Amad Diallo put the cat among the pigeons with an equally eye-catching equaliser with a little over a quarter of an hour of normal time left. Tranquility reigned supreme in Dallas for 37 minutes. Perhaps unexpectedly so, given Norway’s reputation as one of the tournament’s most prolific attacking forces. Ståle Solbakken’s side had plundered 37 goals in eight qualifying matches before adding another eight in the group stage. Leading the …

‘Spy turtles’ & ‘spy fish’ near China’s coast: Xi busts Taiwan’s desperate ops to outplay Beijing?

Published by Parlour News

Published on Jun 15, 2026 08:45 am IST China has issued an extraordinary warning: foreign spy agencies are allegedly using “spy turtles” and “spy fish” – marine animals fitted with sensors – to snoop on its coastal waters and naval activities. Researchers, fishermen, and vessel owners have been urged to report suspicious devices, and previous cases have seen Chinese anglers rewarded with tens of thousands of dollars for turning in alleged spy gear. What makes this even more explosive is the timing: the warning comes as China steps up seabed mapping near Taiwan, fuelling speculation that both Beijing and its rivals are racing to dominate the underwater battlespace before any future conflict.
