Haaland scores hat-trick in Norway's dominant display | OneFootball

Six games, six victories, 29 goals scored and just three conceded. Norway has been impeccable in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, and this time, they defeated Israel 5-0.

Led by manager Stale Solbakken, the team has left no chance for their opponents, with this Saturday's game serving as yet another testament to that.

The story of this match was almost entirely written in the first half, when Erling Haaland made his mark on the score sheet (despite missing a penalty at the six-minute mark).

Prior to that, Anan Khalaili had scored an own goal to open the scoring, with Idan Nachmias scoring another own goal that was responsible for the 3-0 scoreline before half-time.

In the second half, Erling Haaland completed his hat-trick, with goals in the 62nd and 73rd minute. Both were headers with Israel unable to deal with the City man in the air. RB Leipzig wide man Antonio Nusa deserves special plaudits for both his deliveries that the big striker converted.
