The above post by Crooks sent me down a rabbit hole. Turns out, Risa had 2 games at striker for Norway U-21s in 2017, when he was 19. The next year, they added someone new to the team they liked better at striker, so Risa played mostly LB, with some LW and LCB.

That led to this interesting lineup and box score in a group stage match against Germany.

Remember hearing that Alex Callens also played striker in his youth days. I mean, those penalty kicks aren't coming from someone who always played central defense.
