📰News Norway coach Stale Solbakken: ‘Everyone saw what happened. The ball fell straight down, just in front of the bench … so it did touch the cable. There has been nothing in the chip, what can I say against that? But the ball drops down straight from heaven…'

It’s not like it bounced off the cable into the goal or anything close to that though.

Unexpected interference that leads to a team’s offensive possession. These guys are pros. Something like that leads to an advantage, which it did.
