What happens if the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match between Ivory Coast and Norway ends in a draw?

Norway and Ivory Coast remain locked in a battle for a place in the round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at Dallas Stadium in Texas on Tuesday.

The winner of this match will then face Brazil, who defeated Japan with a second-half stoppage strike from Gabriel Martinelli. The five-time world champion is now waiting for the next opponent tonight.

The Norwegians achieved direct qualification in the round of 32 after back-to-back wins in the group stage, while the Elephants sealed a place in the second round with a 2-0 win over debutant Curaçao on the final matchday of the opening round.

What happens if Ivory Coast versus Norway ends in a draw after 90 minutes?

If Ivory Coast and Norway remain level after 90 minutes plus injury time, the match will go into 30 minutes of extra time, divided into two halves.

If the winner is not determined even after that, a penalty shootout will decide which team will advance to the pre-quarter-finals.
