Fails to impress Saturday
Moller Wolfe registered three clearances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against England.
Analysis: Moller Wolfe barely got involved in offensive actions and was unable to help his side avoid defeat despite facing a non-aggressive England right flank. The Wolverhampton player made three clearances in each of his last three appearances at the international competition, but he didn't create a single scoring chance since his assist in the initial win over Iraq.
Impactful in round of 16
Moller Wolfe generated two crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles (one won) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Brazil.
Analysis: Moller Wolfe put in a convincing defensive effort on the flank, recovering five balls and winning five of his seven duels against Brazil. It was his second straight start at left-back, and he's likely to retain his place in the lineup as long as he's available. After delivering an assist in the opening group-stage match, Moller Wolfe has been quiet in offensive duties, with his value coming more from defensive strength and balanced production across the stat line.
Single tackle for win
Moller Wolfe generated one tackle (zero won), three clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Moller Wolfe recorded only a single tackle during Tuesday's win, making three clearances and two interceptions as well. The defender wasn't involved too much throughout the match, but he will have plenty to do next time out against Brazil. With Brazil expected to dominate the match, Moller Wolfe will be hard-pressed to shut them down.
Stays in the back in Senegal match
Moller Wolfe generated one cross (zero accurate), two blocks and one interception and won one tackle in Monday's 3-2 victory against Senegal.
Analysis: Moller Wolfe was under intense pressure as Ismaila Sarr ran amok on the wing, and he had troubles guarding his foe, who bagged a brace, for the most part. He took a step back offensively after dishing out a helper versus Iraq, primarily because of the more challenging match-up. He has logged at least one cross, totaling three (one accurate), one tackle (two won), and one block, amassing three, in the first two fixtures, with no clean sheets.
Assists the opener
Moller Wolfe assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created during Tuesday's 4-1 win against Iraq.
Analysis: Wolfe provided the breakthrough Norway badly needed, his overlapping run and well placed cross setting up Erling Haaland to open the scoring after a frustrating opening period with little created. The left back's night was not without struggles, winning just three of nine duels and committing three fouls, but he recovered to make one tackle and produced a crucial block that kept out what seemed a certain goal.
Called-up for World Cup
Wolfe is likely to be the starting left-back for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Wolfe is representing Norway at the World Cup and is likely to play a decent role in the team, as the defender should start at left-back. He had a mixed season with Wolves this campaign, earning two assists and no clean sheets in 22 appearances (11 starts), leaving a bit more to be asked for after only a rotational spot on a relegated team. He will then have to step up his performance for Norway, as Senegal and France in the group stage will be no easy task. If he were to be replaced at left-back during the tournament, Fredrik Andre Bjorkan is likely to take Wolfe's duties.
Assists in heavy defeat
Moller Wolfe assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 loss to Manchester United.
Analysis: Wolfe connected with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde to bring Wolves back to 1-1 just before halftime. This is his second assist of the season. He has started six games this season, four of which have come in the last four games. He has created at least one chance in each of these four games.
Provides first assist of the year
Moller Wolfe assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Everton.
Analysis: Wolfe entered the game as a sub for the first time since joining Wolves, and he got his first goal involvement. This was also his first accurate cross and first chance created since joining the Premier League.
