World Cup extra time rules for Ivory Coast-Norway
There is no golden goal, also known as "sudden death."
Instead, if Norway and the Ivory Coast are tied at the end of regulation, they play two 15-minute halves of extra times. They switch ends at halftime of extra time.
Even if a team scores a goal early in extra time, the entire half hour of extra time has to be played.

There is also stoppage time at the end of each half of extra time, if there were any injuries, substitutions or other stoppages in that span of time.
Teams also get an additional substitute to use during extra time.
If it is still tied after the 30 minutes of extra time, it goes to penalties.

World Cup penalty rules for Ivory Coast-Norway
If the match goes to penalties, it sets up for five penalty takers on each side.
Any player who was on the pitch at the end of extra time can take a penalty for Norway or the Ivory Coast.
The teams alternate, and at the end of five kicks apiece, if one team is ahead, they advance.
If the teams are tied after five kicks, they go to sudden death, one round at a time to determine who moves on in the World Cup.
