EASTS RUTHERFORD, N.J.: After Lionel Messi scored two goals to set the World Cup record and Kylian Mbappe kept pace in the career chase, Erling Haaland delivered another dazzling performance on a showcase day for the tournament’s top stars. Haaland scored twice for Norway in the first 15 minutes of the second half of a 3-2 win over Senegal on Tuesday, making up for clanking a shot off the post and getting denied on a header just before halftime. His performance came hours after Messi scored two for Argentina and Mbappe did the same for France.
