Dangerous runner from wide areas
Antonio Nusa recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Tuesday's 4-1 victory against Iraq.
Analysis: Nusa was kept without a shot or chance created over the course of the game, largely a consequence of being stationed very wide, but he was a constant threat whenever he received possession, relying on his dribbling to try to find a way past Iraq's compact defensive block. He managed two successful dribbles and was fouled twice for his efforts, finishing with three crosses and one tackle defensively.
Joins Norway for World Cup
Nusa is set to start on the left of the attack for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Nusa is entering his first World Cup as a major young piece for Norway, set to serve as an important attacker from the flanks. The 21-year-old has started to break onto the scene in the past two league seasons, leading to his inclusion in Norway's roster, recording four goals and three assists in his 31 appearances (24 starts) with Leipzig. He will now have to contend with Erling Haaland in the attack, although the focus on the Manchester City forward could leave Nusa a bit more open. With Norway's main way of staying in the tournament being to score, Nusa could be a decent shout for a couple of goal contributions before Norway's exit.
