Norway and Switzerland Play Out Goalless Draw in Friendly

Erling Haaland’s return to the starting lineup failed to spark Norway as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Switzerland in a friendly match in Oslo on Tuesday. Haaland, who was rested during Norway’s 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands last Friday, played for 63 minutes but could not break the deadlock. The result marked Norway’s first goalless outing under manager Stale Solbakken.

Both teams struggled to create clear chances in a tightly contested match. Switzerland’s defense remained organized, limiting Norway’s attacking opportunities, while the visitors also lacked cutting edge in the final third. The draw leaves both sides with work to do ahead of their upcoming competitive fixtures.
