Match overview
Vieri’s crisp left-foot volley proved enough as Italy’s disciplined back three resisted Norway’s aerial threat. Pagliuca’s fingertip save from Rekdal preserved the lead, and Maldini’s men advanced to another quarter-final.
Trivia
Vieri’s strike took his tournament tally to four, equalling Paolo Rossi’s Italian record for a single World Cup.
