The Norwegian national team competes with Austria for a place in the first division of the Nations League
Summary
Norway thrashed Slovenia 4-1 this Thursday in Ljubljana, in the fifth round of the UEFA Nations League. Erling Haaland scored one of the goals of the match, but this time the star of the show was 19-year-old Antonio Nusa, who scored twice, one of them in a beautiful individual play. Sesko scored the Slovenian goal from the penalty spot, and Hauge closed the scoring for Norway. The result ended Slovenia’s two-year and five-month unbeaten run (15 games) playing at home.

THE GOALS OF THE GAME
The two teams are in the second division of the Nations League and return to the field on Sunday for the final round: Norway vs. Kazakhstan and Austria vs. Slovenia. The Austrian team leads Group 3, with the same ten points as the Norwegians, with an advantage in the first tiebreaker criterion, the head-to-head record. Slovenia is third, with seven, and no longer has a chance of finishing first, as it lost to Norway in the match. In this division, the first-placed team in each group qualifies for the elite of the Nations League next season, and the second-placed team will have the chance to move up in a playoff against a team from the first division.
