OLIVAL (VG) (Norway-Jordan 4-0, match on) Antonio Nossa (18) immediately made his mark on his debut for the national team. We have to go back to 1960 to find a younger scorer in the national team.

In the absence of Erling Braut Haaland, it was Antonio Nossa who many were eager to see.
They should get value for money almost immediately.
Ten minutes later, Jordan played low. Nousa gained some space inside the 16-metre box and managed to volley the ball straight into the far corner.
– What a moment! Ullevaal has got a new favourite, commented the sullen Oyvind of TV 2.
The Club Brugge gem was embraced by his colleagues as the national team’s second-youngest ever goalscorer. Only Roald “Nixen” Jensen was younger when he scored against Finland on August 28, 1960.
It happened exactly 63 years ago.
Scorers: Two of Norway’s goalscorers against Jordan: Antonio Nossa and Jurgen Strand Larsen.
It is also the fastest debut score for Norway since Justin Flo’s sixth-minute goal against Turkey in 1987.
Sigurd Rosted scored after seven minutes as a substitute on his debut against Albania in March 2018.
Norway had few problems with Jordan in the first half. After 40 minutes, Norway led 4-0. Christopher Agger, Jurgen Strand-Larsen and Frederik Björkan scored the other three goals.
With this, all four scorers scored their first national goal for Norway against Jordan.
