MILAN - At the Stadio Meazza in Milan, there was no contest in the World Cup qualifying match between Italy and Norway. The match ended with the Italian national team taking the lead (Pio Esposito in the 11th minute), but the second half was a debacle, with four goals coming in the final quarter (Nusa, Haarland, Larsen). A 4-1 finish was so harsh that coach Gattuso apologized to the fans. Norway advances directly to the World Cup.
