Fulltime: What a great win for the young Kiwi side. Just too good for the European side. New Zealand played better football and created a tin more chances and top the group with a game to play against the impressive Uruguay.
90+2mins - Just seconds left now as NZ push for another.

83mins - GOAL NEW ZEALAND - John Kitolano (OG): That'll seal it for NZ. Cacace, who has been sublime, darts down the left, beating two defenders, he finds Just, who drives in a low cross from just inside the box for Waine, but Kitolano gets in front, however his touch deflects the ball into the net. NZ 2-0.
77mins - New Zealand still pushing for a second goal. Norway look dangerous on the breakout, but quite frankly this NZ side is simply better in quality.
70mins - GOAL NEW ZEALAND - Giannni Stensness: Absolute screamer! Wow, wow, wow, wow. What a strike from the defencive midfielder. Good possession for NZ through Bell and Singh on the edge of the box....Bell lays a pass back to Stensness who is a good 35 yards out - he hits it first time and it smashes into the roof of the net less than a second later. What a goal from the young man. NZ on their way to the knockout stages if the score remains the same. NZ 1-0.

Half time: All square at the half. NZ with the better of possession but Norway created a couple good chances. Cacace and Sarpreet Singh were both excellent for the young All Whites.
