Antonio Nusa prevails against Benjamin Sesko in the Nations League duel between Leipzig's attackers. Although both scored, the Norwegian ultimately came out on top in Slovenia.

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.
