Norway, France's future opponent at the Football World Cup, and Morocco drew 1-1 on Sunday June 7 in a friendly at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison (New Jersey), near New York. Four days before the start of the competition (June 11-July 19), the Atlas Lions got into the match better, and Brahim Diaz opened the scoring in the 8th minute, well served by his attack partner Abde Ezzalzouli after a nice run down the left side. But Arsenal's inevitable leader, Martin Odegaard, equalized in the 75th minute in front of a more passive Moroccan defense in the second half. Morocco especially lost Ezzalzouli and defender Noussair Mazraoui, both out with injuries in the first half, a week before its entry into contention against Brazil in the shock of Group C of the World Cup, which also includes Scotland and Haiti. Norway was able to be dangerous on set pieces with the presence of its giants Erling Haaland and Alexander Sørloth in the area, but was rather feverish in defense. Norway, which has not participated in the World Cup since 1998, will begin its World Cup journey on June 17 against Iraq, before facing Senegal on the 23rd then France on the 26th in Boston.
