All goals came in the first half. Alexander Sørloth scored 1–0 after 14 minutes and 20 minutes later Antonio Nusa sent in 2–0 in the net behind the Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Superstar Erling Braut Haaland then confirmed the win to 3–0 in the 42nd minute.
Since Italy was in the Nations League playoffs earlier in the spring, this was the team's first match in the World Championship qualification.
Norway last played in the World Championship in 1998. The large crowd of Italy has missed the two most recent world championships.
