Norway striker Erling Haaland continued his remarkable FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign by scoring a brace in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Senegal. Haaland became only the sixth player in World Cup history to score multiple goals in each of his first two tournament appearances, joining an elite list featuring Guillermo Stabile, Sandor Kocsis, Just Fontaine, Grzegorz Lato and Harry Kane. His four goals in two matches also established a new all-time Norway World Cup scoring record, surpassing Kjetil Rekdal’s previous mark of two goals. Norway secured qualification for the Round of 32 with six points, while Senegal remain winless and face a must-win final group match. (PC: MSN)
