Adjust font size:

Norway scored a 1-0 victory over over New Zealand in the Olympic women's soccer tournament on Saturday.

It is Norway's sixth consecutive win in its Olympic tournament, a new record for the team after it scored the quickest ever goal - two minutes into the match - in the last match against the United States.

The only goal came in the eighth minute when Norway's striker Melissa Wiik neatly headed Leni Larsen Kaurin's cross into the net.

It was also Wiik's second goal in this tournament after she found home once against the American side.
