After a solid run during the play-in bracket that culminated with Norway reaching the Quarterfinals before falling to OKC Energy FC’s Portuguese team, the European nation earned a spot in Division A last week and began the campaign with a 4-2 win over Las Vegas Lights FC – representing Uruguay. However, for the second straight quarterfinal contest, Norway was defeated by Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal – this time, by a 4-1 score line.
Mexico’s defense will be put to the test, as Norway is averaging over two goals per game during the eCup thus far. Leading the Norwegian front lines are Bournemouth striker Joshua King and Borussia Dortmund’s coveted young forward Erling Braut Haaland. The talented, young Haaland is a towering presence at 6-foot-4 and he’s equally as lethal with both feet as he is in the air, dominating the skies.

Republic FC earned promotion to Division A and a shot at Haaland after recording victories in the Quarterfinals and Semifinals last week, however, the Indomitable Club were denied a Division B Championship win after taking an early 1-0 lead before New England Revolution II’s Russian squad scored four unanswered goals to take the match, 4-1. Mexico’s lone goal was scored by forward Raul Jimenez, his team-best sixth of the tournament.
