Haaland Becomes Norway's All-Time World Cup Top Scorer in Just Two Matches

Norway's star striker Erling Haaland netted a brace against Senegal in their 3-2 victory during the second group stage match of the World Cup. These two goals mark his third and fourth of the 2026 World Cup campaign, making the 25-year-old the sole record holder for most goals scored by a Norwegian international at World Cup finals.

Haaland surpassed the previous record held by former 'Vikings' midfielder Kjetil Rekdal, who had two goals across the 1994 and 1998 World Cups.

Overall, the 25-year-old Haaland has an impressive tally of 59 goals in 52 appearances for the Norwegian national team.

In their final group stage fixture, Norway will face France in a direct battle for the top spot.
