It's over! There was little football to be had in the match; both teams played to make it to the finals. However, a nice extra-time play by Norway ultimately gave them the win, allowing them to play in the quarterfinals.
Key moments
VAR! The match is getting quite intense. The referee will now review a play in Paraguay's favor in the box. However, the entire game is quite rough and intense. Paraguay keeps insisting, and everything indicates they won't score.
There's more! Time has already run out, but three more minutes have been added to the match, and a VAR review has been issued in favor of Paraguay. However, nothing has been called, and time is running out.
Another change for the Paraguayan team. It's Gómez who will be looking to create danger up front in these final minutes to find the equalizer and send the game to penalties. Ezequiel Duarte is leaving the match.
Goal, goal, goal, goal for Norway! What a surprise they're pulling off! Laegreid made a great run down the wing, sending a cross into the box where Fuglestad stepped up to score the first goal of the match, which would give them the upper hand.
Norway is the team that has generated the least amount of attacking chances to try to score before penalties. The team is banking on reaching those stages to capitalize on any Paraguayan mistakes. What a complicated situation.
He didn't make it! Alfonso was looking to score the first goal for his team, but his shot towards goal ended up going way off target, creating little danger to go for a good finish. They need more to make.
The second period of extra time is underway, and Norway has made a substitution for the final period. Holte comes on to refresh his legs and look for a way to create a goal. Kittilsen comes off the pitch, and he put in a great performance.
Halftime. The first half of extra time is coming to an end. Neither team has managed to create any chances that could make the opposing goalkeeper tremble. It's hard to see how either team can score the goal they need to advance to the next round.
Nothing was called! It was a minor review, and the match continued without a penalty. In addition, it is Paraguay that makes two changes. Baruja and Villalba leave the party and Giménez and Tobías enter those places.
VAR! The referee approaches the video referee to review a possible penalty in favor of Norway. It is Kittilsen who is caught between two players, but it seems there will be nothing in favor of the visiting team for this game.
It doesn't happen! It was Fabrizio Baruja who was looking for the goal, but when he unleashed a powerful shot to open the scoring, the ball went over the goal and the opportunity to score the goal that could have given them the lead was lost.
Norway has made another change for this extra time. Vetle Auklend is leaving the match after being injured. Jonathan Norbye comes in, looking to unbalance the team and create plenty of movement up front.
The game is on! The match begins and everything resumes with the first extra time. Both Paraguay and Norway will look for a way to open the scoring and score the goal to secure the result. They need more.
Regulation time is over! After countless attempts, neither team managed to open the scoring, so the match will go into overtime, hoping it doesn't end up being a shootout. What a terrify game of both teams.
VAR! A play in Paraguay's favor will be reviewed. It's a possible foul in the box against the Albirroja, although everything indicates nothing will be called and this match could be close to the end of regular time.
There's more time to play. Five minutes will be added to this match. If it ends goalless, the game will go into overtime. However, it could end up being decided on penalties—what a complex situation. They need more.
More changes. It's one more change Norway makes before the deadline. Markus Haaland leaves the match after leaving everything on the pitch and searching for the goal with enthusiasm. Niklas Fuglestad takes over.
Two changes for Paraguay for this close of play. Miño and Caballero come off after giving their all on the pitch for their team, and Aguayo and Fernández come on to go for that long-awaited goal. They need a good time.
There's a goalkeeper! Fauskanger saves his goal. A great shot from the Norwegian goalkeeper prevents the Paraguayan player's shot from going in under his own goal and giving the opponent the lead in this very complex close of play.
It was close! Guiñazú can't open the scoring after a good cross from Lucas Quintana. They need more ideas, they haven't created much, they haven't achieved anything in these minutes that have created good opportunities.
Many fouls in this match, the close-up is very rough with little to generate for either team. Both have kept everything at a standstill with generic plays in midfield, they have achieved little, and everything is happening.
Little to say about this second half. Time is ticking by, and neither team has managed to open the scoring in their favor. They need to develop more ideas for creating danger to score goals. What a mess.
Norway makes a change to refresh their legs and look for more opportunities. Tobias Moi comes onto the pitch, replacing Kasper Sætherbø, who made a great effort to score goals. They need yo make more to get a good score.
No creation, both teams keep their lines very closed and have not left any space to give rise to anyone launching themselves dangerously into the opponent's zone, they need more creativity, the game could go on for a long time.
Nothing! What a great cross Maidana sent. Caballero arrived in the box to unleash a powerful shot, but the Norwegian goalkeeper managed to clear the ball away from his goal. What a great intervention was made.
Keep looking! Maidana keeps hitting the target. He tried with a shot forward to go for that long-awaited goal, but his shot went wide. They need more ideas to open the scoring and add goals. What a mess.
The action stops, and Aucklend is fouled after trying to stop the ball from passing, winning the ball for the visiting team. They need more ingenuity up front to go for those goals. What a terrible match.
Laegraid arrived looking to generate enough danger up front, but the ball doesn't reach the opponent's zone with latent risk; he needs to generate more plays up front with greater intensity to look for the first.
The alarm bells are ringing! Fauskanger is left lying on the pitch complaining of a muscle problem in his thigh. Assistance is needed, but everything indicates he'll be able to play for the remainder of the match.
It can't be! Paraguay took the lead with a great shot at Otazu's goal, however, upon review by VAR, it was verified that there was a foul prior to the shot and all play that occurred after it was annulled.
The ball is moving to play the second half in Chile. Norway makes a change for the second half: Julian Laegred comes on, replacing Gustav Nyheim, to try to create a more even balance. What a game will be.
Halftime! The first half ends, and the final moments were very astonishing. They need to reorganize their team and go for those goals to avoid going to extra time and/or penalties. They need a moment to make better things.
There's time! Two more minutes will be played, and they need to increase their speed and go for those winning goals. However, neither team has managed to generate anything that could give them real danger in the opponent's half.
Few emotions have been orchestrated, the teams have not made any real attacks, and time is running out. They need to find a way to go for the goals that will give them victory in the round of 16 of the U-20 World Cup.
Insfran and Frauskanger have had no problems inside their posts, but both teams need to be more resourceful in finding ways to go for that opening goal. There's no creativity in this game. They need more.
It's a constant back and forth, the match gradually winding down as the teams head to the break. There hasn't been much danger in the first half, and they need to be more balanced. What a complicated game.
Nothing! Maydana looked to create danger with a great cross into the box, waiting for a good shot, but when it came to sending the ball in, the defenders were the ones who prevented it from going in, they need more.
Hoyland hasn't been able to break past the Paraguayan defensive line. The player needs to go all out towards the goal to finish and go for the goal that will give them the lead. The game is very close.
Guiñazú and Dure look for ways to create danger to score the first goal of the match, but the ball refuses to pass into the Norwegian team's penalty area. They need more creativity to surprise their opponent.
Almost! It's Miño who manages to finish and create danger in the Norwegian box, but Fauskanger manages to keep the ball from crossing the line, ensuring that the score remains unbroken in this complex game.
There were few dangerous actions in this match. They continue to look for a way to orchestrate a good play to go for that goal that will give them a temporary advantage. They need to find a way to perpetuate this with a view to adding another goal.
He saved it! After Caballero's penalty kick, it was Fauskanger who made a timely dive and prevented his goal from falling in an ugly way to open the scoring. A great save. After diving, the ball was deflected and went out of play.
Penalty for Paraguay! After a few seconds of video review, the referee determined that there was a deliberate handball, so the penalty will be awarded to Paraguay. What a great opportunity for the home side.
VAR! It's time to review a handball inside the Norwegian penalty area. The ball hits the defender, whose arm is fully extended, and everything points to a Paraguayan goal, who will try to score the first goal.
Baig managed to intervene correctly, the Norwegian player prevented the Paraguayans' play from going any further and reached his goal with the aim of finishing it off and scoring the first goal of the match, which was complex.
Little to nothing, the first half started very stunned, the ball is very divided, many long strokes that the home team and the visiting team quickly lose, they need to get into the action to go for those goals.
The action between Paraguay and Norway kicks off in a thrilling 90 minutes with both teams focused on attacking, looking for ways to generate the necessary danger to go for the goals that will give them a place in the next round.

Urgent need to score

Norway is in a strong position. The visiting team drew with Colombia and Saudi Arabia, but managed to take three points after beating Nigeria by a single goal in their World Cup debut. They have that advantage.
