The Norwegian national team is advancing confidently toward the final phase of the World Cup. On October 11, Ståle Solbakken’s squad defeated Israel in a qualifying match with a decisive 5-0 result.
This win marked Norway’s sixth consecutive victory, placing them at the top of their group. Manchester City star Erling Haaland shone brightly, scoring a hat-trick and bringing his total to 51 goals in just 46 appearances for Norway.
In the first half, Haaland missed two penalties against the Israeli goalkeeper but later found his scoring form. He has now scored in ten straight matches for both club and country.
