Erling Haaland did what Erling Haaland does. The Manchester City striker buried two goals in a ten-minute second-half blitz on June 22 to drag Norway past a stubborn Senegal side 3-2 in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group I clash at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The result gives Norway a commanding position in Group I and extends Haaland’s absurd scoring pace: four goals in just two World Cup appearances.
How the match unfolded
Norway took the lead just before halftime through Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, who found the net in the 43rd minute.
Haaland struck first in the 48th minute, just three minutes after the restart.
