GOAL! 1-1 NORWAY! King coolly steps up and rolls the penalty past Kepa who dives fruitlessly to his right. Spain's winning run in Group F may have come to an end!
FULL TIME: NORWAY 1-1 SPAIN
90' +2
Kepa gets yellow.
Kepa is booked for that rash challenge. You can't say that Norway don't deserve their chance to level this game.
88'
Iñigo Martínez enters the game and replaces Juan Bernat.
Spain make their final change. Bernat makes way for Martinez.
87'
Odegaard takes the corner, which only goes as far as a Spain defender. Norway really needed to score earlier in the game. Spain have stepped up a gear in the second half.
85'
Johnsen gets into the game straight away as he's called offside from Ajer's long ball. Shortly after, Aleesami lofts a cross in from the left but Spain stand firm. Sorloth puts the ball back into the mixer and this time Albiol heads it out for a corner.
83'
B. Johnsen enters the game and replaces M. Henriksen.
Norway make their final change - and they're going for it. Henriksen off, the Rosenborg striker Johnsen on.
81'
Fabián Ruiz gets yellow.
Ruiz also sees yellow for a bad foul on Aleesami. Norway are pushing hard but it's difficult not to see Spain winning this now.
80'
Sergio Ramos gets yellow.
Ramos gets booked for handball. He'll miss Spain's next game against Sweden now.
78'
Rodri enters the game and replaces Mikel Oyarzabal.
Spain substitution. Oyarzabal makes way for Rodri.
77'
Norway put some short passes together and Selnaes tries to set King free but there's too much power on the pass. Norway still have time to get something from this game.
Minute
Description
71'
Elabdellaoui is in space down the right for Norway. He overcooks his cross in though.
70'
Norway are committing men forward but are struggling to create much now. Up the other end, Cazorla lets off a left-footed shot from inside the box and forces a decent save from Jarstein.
68'
Odegaard looks to send Sorloth down the right with a dangerous pass but the striker is beaten to the ball by Bernat. Sorloth promptly gives away an unnecessary foul for tugging on Bernat's shirt.
66'
Spain have managed the game expertly since taking the lead. Norway have barely had a sniff. The visitors are casually popping the ball around now, daring Norway to come out and press them.
65'
On early appearances, Sorloth will play alongside King in a 4-4-2 for Norway now. Odegaard has moved out to the right flank.
64'
Santi Cazorla enters the game and replaces Dani Ceballos.
Spain also make a change. Ceballos off. Cazorla on.
63'
A. Sørloth enters the game and replaces S. Johansen.
While Albiol gets treated, Norway make a change. Sorloth - the Crystal Palace player currently on loan at Trabzonspor - replaces Johansen. Presumably the target man will join King up front.
62'
Albiol goes down clutching his nose after a clash of heads between him and Aleesami. The 34-year-old needs some treatment. He's done well working his way back into the national team after his early-season form for Villarreal.
61'
Norway are prepping Sorloth to come in, but they'll take the free-kick first. It finds Hovland at the far post who nudges his man over from the back. Spain free-kick.
60'
Sergio Busquets gets yellow.
Busquets goes into the book for a mistimed challenge on Selnaes.
59'
King attempts to power down Norway's left on the break until Albiol rudely steams in to take him out, albeit cleanly. The home fans aren't impressed.
56'
Norway harry Spain in their own half but the visitors are stroking the ball around more confidently now. Navas picks up the ball down the right and works it back inside to Ruiz. Ruiz finds Saul who blazes off target from range.
54'
Ramos gives away a foul on Odegaard in Spain's half. Norway loft it in and Ajer keeps the clearance in play, only to hand it to a Spanish player. It looks like the home side will be making changes soon enough.
52'
Norway are definitely not quite as good as Spain. King chests down a long ball nicely and attempts to lay off to Selnaes, but he puts too much power on the pass and it's a Spain throw-in. King looks up the skies in frustration.
50'
Rodrigo bursts in the box after a one-two with Bernat and fizzes a low cross across the face of goal. Jarstein drops low to claim it. Oddly, no one in a Spain shirt took a gamble on the keeper dropping it.
47'
Saúl has scored a goal for Spain! Assist by Sergio Busquets.
GOAL! 1-0 SPAIN! Saul beats Jarstein with a dipping effort from the edge of the box after Norway fail to clear their lines. That's his third goal for his country!
Busquets can claim the assist there. As always, he's been pretty much invisible but crucial to the play of Spain, whose nerves will have been settled by that goal. They're not home and dry yet though.
46'
We're back under way here. Can Spain get the win they need to all-but secure their place at Euro 2020?
45' +2
HALF-TIME: NORWAY 0-0 SPAIN
45' +1
Elabdellaoui whips in another cross from the right. It's another Norway corner. Odegaard's delivery finds Ajer, who nods wide of the right hand post! Norway could - should perhaps - be leading by now.
45'
Elabdellaoui takes the corner and it causes a spot of panic in Spain's penalty area! Odegaard has space to shoot but he can't get his feet together. Spain quickly swarm in and get rid.
44'
Norway get the ball and break quickly again down the left. Selnaes' low ball into the box finds Odegaard, who dummies neatly and looks for King, but it's put out for a Norway corner.
42'
J. King gets yellow.
King sees yellow for a late challenge. Norway are working hard to keep Spain at bay here.
40'
Ruiz has a pop from range that's blocked. Corner for Spain. Oyarzabal fizzes the ball in and Saul's header is over the bar. Spain really haven't looked that threatening yet.
37'
For all their possession, Spain have achieved diddly-squat. Norway have actually had the better chances so far.
35'
Rodrigo gets yellow.
Rodrigo gets the first booking of the game for a mistimed tackle. Told you he looked menacing.
34'
Rodrigo is caught offside again from Saul's attempted through-ball. Rodrigo is sporting a black eye at the moment, which must make him look even more menacing to defenders than usual.
31'
Hovland gets into the action quickly, getting on the end of Odegaard's corner. Spain quickly clear it away though.
30'
E. Hovland enters the game and replaces H. Nordtveit.
Nordtveit is replaced at centre-back by Hovland, who plys his trade at Rosenborg.
28'
Norway put together a promising spell of play and get a corner down their left. It's taken short and swung into the far post. Spain flounder a bit and King rattles a shot against the legs of Ramos. Norway corner again.
27'
Saul looks to play a one-two with Ceballos but the latter's return pass is blocked by Henriksen. Nordtveit looks to be in a bit of difficulty with that injury he picked up earlier. He's soldiering on for now.
25'
Navas wins Spain's first corner of the game off Aleesami. Ramos is lurking but Norway get the initial corner away before Berge makes sure the chance is gone.
23'
Johansen fouls Bernat in Spain's half. Spain play the ball forward quickly and it falls to Saul, who aims a shot for the bottom left corner. Jarstein has it covered.
20'
Norway have their first real pop at Spain's defence as the visitors lose the ball in midfield. Odegaard feeds King, who beats Albiol to the ball but is forced to hold it up. King passes back to Odegaard, whose cross in evades everyone in the box.
18'
Nordtveit stays down briefly with a knock but looks fine to continue. When play resumes, Ruiz looks to cut open Norway's defence with a slide-rule pass but finds his effort cut out.
16'
Saul chips a nice cross from the left to Rodrigo at the far post. Aleesami does just enough to put him off. Norway can't clear their lines, though. Navas whips another low cross in from the right and Rodrigo only has to poke it in but can't just reach it.
15'
Johansen glides through the centre of midfield and finds Elabdellaoui out wide. The Olympiacos right-back crosses in but it's nothing Ramos' head can't deal with. It's a record 168th cap for Spain's captain today.
14'
Rodrigo is penalised for a foul. Norway can't keep the ball but chase after Bernat in Spain's defensive third, eventually giving away a throw-in.
12'
Ruiz lofts the ball into the box but Norway clear the ball away from their penalty area. The home side look sturdy at the moment.
10'
Norway enjoy a spell of possession at the back. However, Spain look eager to press whenever they can. Eventually Jarstein pumps it long and King wins the header, but can nod it only to Ceballos.
9'
Norway are having to stay alert as Spain aren't keen to give them a sniff of the ball. They eventually win the ball and Odegaard looks for a team-mate, but nothing is on.
8'
As you'd expect, Spain are dictating the play so far. Norway are playing more of a 4-4-1-1 with the Real Madrid midfielder Odegaard - on loan at Real Sociedad this season - just behind King.
6'
Norway half-heartedly claim for a penalty as King has his arm tugged in the box by Ramos as the pair jostle for a Norway cross from the left. The referee isn't moved.
4'
Navas attempts a through-ball for Rodrigo, who's offside. The Valencia striker has become Spain's main outlet up front in recent months.
2'
Spain look to assert themselves early on, penning Norway into their half. Oyarzabal finds Rodrigo, who has a shot blocked in the centre of the box. Ceballos' follow-up also finds a Norway man in the way.
1'
Referee Michael Oliver gets this game underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Euro 2020 qualifying group F match between Norway and Spain at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo.
Norway, however, are in decent form themselves. Since losing to Spain in March, Norway have been unbeaten in Group F and need a win to keep the pressure on Romania and Sweden, who sit above them in the table. Let's see how Lars Lagerback's side fare!
NORWAY (4-2-3-1): Rune Jarstein; Omar Elabdellaoui, Havard Nordtveit, Kristoffer Ajer, Haitam Aleesami; Markus Henriksen, Sander Berge; Stefan Johansen (c), Martin Odegaard, Ole Selnaes; Joshua King.
SUBS: Orjan Nyland, Even Hovland, Jonas Svensson, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Tarik Elyounoussi, Mathias Normann, Sondre Rossbach, Alexander Sorloth, Sigurd Rosted, Birger Meling, Fredrik Midtsjo, Bjorn Maars Johnsen.
SPAIN (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Jesus Navas, Raul Albiol, Sergio Ramos (c), Juan Bernat; Fabian Ruiz, Sergio Busquets, Saul Niguez; Mikel Oyarzabal, Rodrigo Moreno, Dani Ceballos.
SUBS: Luis Alberto, Santi Cazorla, Gerard Moreno, Inigo Martinez, Rodrigo, Diego Llorente, Pau Lopez, Thiago Alcantara, Sergio Reguilon, Pablo Sarabia, David de Gea, Daniel Carvajal.
The two countries' national anthems are impeccably observed. Norway will play in their red home shirt with blue shirts and socks; Spain are wearing their all-white away kit.
Spain have the chance to secure qualification to Euro 2020 if they get a win against Norway tonight. Robert Moreno's side have a perfect record in Group F so far - can they make it seven wins from seven?
Spain remain top of Group F with that 1-1 draw, five points ahead of second-placed Sweden and six clear of Romania. It's surely only a matter of time until they seal qualification. Norway remain just in the hunt for the second qualification spot on 10 points, three points behind Romania.
Spain can seal the deal with a win in Sweden on Tuesday. Norway head to Romania in what is a must-win game for their qualification hopes. After today's showing, you wouldn't put it past them. That's all for now. Goodbye!
