Martin Odegaard scored a second-half equalizer as Norway came from behind to force a 1-1 draw with African giants Morocco in a World Cup warm-up match on Sunday.

Arsenal captain Odegaard swept in an emphatic finish from Oscar Bobb’s low cross on 75 minutes in Harrison, New Jersey, to cancel out Brahim Diaz’s early goal for Morocco.

Morocco made history four years ago by becoming the first team from Africa ever to reach the last four of a World Cup, eventually losing a tense semi-final to France.
