Sets up teammate in Senegal game
Odegaard assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 3-2 victory over Senegal.
Analysis: Odegaard had a complete offensive game, engineering several menacing actions, putting up stats across the board and assisting Erling Haaland's first goal with a deft through ball to cap off a counter. It marked his second consecutive assist in the World Cup. He also could have scored very early in the match, but he hit Edouard Mendy from point-blank range.
Assists from corner
Odegaard assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Iraq.
Analysis: Odegaard took only one of Norway's five corners as Julian Ryerson handed most of the set piece responsibilities elsewhere, but his one delivery proved decisive, picked out by Leo Ostigard for the assist. Beyond that, the captain was not heavily involved as an attacking threat, with the corner standing as his only chance created in the game and just one shot from outside the box to his name. His role in building play to break down Iraq's defense should not be overlooked, however, as he completed 41 of his 42 passes.
