Erling Haaland scored his second World Cup brace in a row as Norway beat Senegal 3-2 to punch their ticket to the last 32.
Norway substitute Marcus Holmgren Pedersen struck late in the first half in New Jersey before Haaland doubled the lead shortly after the break.
Ismaila Sarr cut the deficit for Senegal, only for Haaland to punish more slack defending as Norway moved through to the knockout rounds with a game to spare despite a late consolation from Sarr.
