Mario Mandzukic then came close to pulling level just moments later with a strike from the edge of the box which sailed just over the bar.

Berget, however, went on to double Norway's lead in the 70th minute following a skilful individual run finished off by a strike which deflected off Vedran Corluka and into the bottom-left corner.

The result means that Norway leapfrog to the top of Group H, with Croatia in second and Euro 2012 finalists Italy in third.
