They showcased formidable attacking power, defeating Finland 2-1 in their opening match, then beating Switzerland 2-1 in the second round, and narrowly winning 4-3 against Iceland in the third round, securing a perfect record of 9 points from three wins. Despite their sharp offense, Norway's defense has shown some vulnerabilities, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their three group stage matches. Italy (W), on the other hand, qualified for the quarter-finals as group runners-up, thanks to their tenacious spirit and crucial performances.
