Antonio Nusa has won the duel with his team-mate Benjamin Sesko from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig. With a brace from the 19-year-old (4th/59th minute) and goals from Erling Haaland (45th) and ex-Frankfurt player Jens Petter Hauge (83rd), Norway beat Slovenia 4-1 (2-1) in Ljubljana. Sesko (21) had equalized the game with a penalty. Norway had already clearly won the first leg 3-0 in October.
This gave Nusa and Co. the chance to win the group and thus advance directly to League A. The decision will be made on Sunday. The second-placed Norwegians will host Kazakhstan, while Slovenia will face league leaders Austria. Ralf Rangnick's team and Norway have ten points. The group winner advances directly, the runner-up has to go through to the play-offs.
