Scores twice against Senegal
Haaland scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Monday's 3-2 victory against Senegal.
Analysis: Haaland made the score sheet from close-range attempts in the 48th and 58th minutes, respectively, leading his side to its second victory of the 2026 World Cup. The striker had a few more chances up front, including one that was denied by the post, but the two goals were enough for him to complete another superb performance, tying Kylian Mbappe as the second-best scorer in the tournament behind Lionel Messi. Up next is a more challenging fixture for Haaland as he'll face France in the final group match, although there could be some playing time management given that both teams have already secured a place in the knockout stage.
Brace in World Cup debut
Haaland scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-1 win versus Iraq.
Analysis: Haaland was at his dominant best on his World Cup debut, opening the scoring for Norway after a subdued first half in which they struggled to fashion any clear openings. He was a constant menace through his pressing, winning seven of nine duels and causing havoc for Iraq's center backs and goalkeeper, ultimately forcing the mistake between them that gifted him his second goal. Two missed big chances meant his tally could have been even higher, and he was also behind the fourth goal late on, winning the header that forced an error from the Iraqi defense and ended up in their own net.
