Going into the game away to Norway, Norway needed a win to have a realistic chance of qualification. A draw would be a good result for Scotland.
After 13 minutes, Gunn made a save from a Sørloth header. Five minutes later there was a VAR check for a possible Norway penalty, but it was waved away. Two minutes into the second half, a long range shot from McGinn failed to trouble the keeper. With 55 minutes on the clock, Scotland were lucky not to concede a penalty as Hendry pulled back Haaland in the box. On the hour mark Norway were given a penalty when Haaland threw himself to the ground and conned the ref. Up stepped Haaland and he hit it into the bottom left corner, past the outstretched hand of Gunn, to give Norway the lead. Ten minutes later, Norway almost got a second when a shot by Sørloth was deflected past the post. From the resulting corner Berge missed a great chance when he headed past the post. With six minutes remaining Haaland was substituted, and three minutes later Scotland got an equaliser out of nothing. A ball from McGinn was miscontrolled in the box by Østigård and Dykes pounced to slot home the loose ball and make it 1-1 against the run of play. Scotland were not finished there. A couple of minutes later in the 89th minute, Armstrong played the ball up the right hand wing to McTominay, who played a long ball into the box to McGinn. He passed to Dykes who layed it off to Kenny McLean who coolly side footed it in to the bottom right hand corner to give Scotland a 2-1 lead, and send the Scotland fans into a state of ecstasy. Scotland held out for the final whistle, to record another famous victory. This made it three wins out of three, and left Norway on only one point.
