Orjan Nyland fell to his hands and knees, his face resting on the AT&T Stadium turf with a half-dozen Ivory Coast players strewn about him after Norway's 2-1 World Cup victory that was preserved by the goalkeeper's spectacular last-minute save.
It was relief for Nyland and pain for those orange-clad opponents after a leaping, twisting, left-handed stop that's sure to live in Norwegian lore. It was, after all, the final image of the country's first win in the knockout round on soccer's biggest stage.
There's little doubt the moment wasn't lost on Nyland, based on the shouts and chest bumps he shared with several teammates immediately after the save.
"He's been looking great for a long time," coach Stale Solbakken said through a translator after the victory in the round of 32. "I think he'll play better and better."
Norway took the lead in the 86th minute on striker Erling Haaland's fifth goal of this year's World Cup, and the team spent the rest of regulation and injury time ...

France saw around 1,000 additional deaths last week at the height of its record-smashing heat wave, the country's public health agency said Sunday, as Europeans elsewhere were suffering through yet another day of new temperature highs that sparked wildfires in Germany and had Berlin police using water cannons to cool down the crowds.
Temperature records were toppled in several countries on the weekend as the heat wave slowly moved toward eastern parts of the continent.
In Germany, a new night time temperature record was reported Sunday from Kubschutz, in eastern Saxony, where the temperature did not drop below 29.4 degrees Celsius. The nightly record came only hours after a daytime record of 41.5 C in Mockern-Drewitz in Saxony-Anhalt, according to preliminary data by the German Weather Service DWD.
