The world’s top teams won their Euro 2022 groups while Norway suffered a shock first-round exit. Here, the PA news agency looks at the key statistics that determined qualification for the quarter-finals.
Norway were the surprise casualties of round one, finishing third behind England and Austria, and their defensive record illustrates what went wrong.
The 8-0 defeat to the Lionesses was the most striking result and, despite a mid-ranking 115 attacks against them, according to UEFA’s official stats, Martin Sjogren’s side gave up five clear chances across their three games.
That matched group rivals Northern Ireland, the lowest-ranked side in the tournament and one of only two to finish without a point, for the most in the group stage.
