Erling Haaland has scored four goals for Norway in his last four games. |
Norway continued their impeccable form in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe. Hosting a weaker opponent, the Nordic team had no trouble dominating the game. However, they had to wait until the 62nd minute to open the scoring, when Haaland finished from a lightning counterattack.
The Manchester City star's first shot was blocked by Estonian defender Maksim Paskotsi, with the ball bouncing off goalkeeper Karl Hein and hitting the crossbar. Haaland then dived in to tap the ball in from close range to seal the win. He took his international tally to 42 goals in 43 games.
Although not a spectacular goal, this goal is important for this striker and the Norwegian team. This victory helps the Nordic team maintain their chance to participate in the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
Under coach Stale Solbakken, Norway currently lead Group I with 12 points from four games, ahead of Israel (six points from three games) and Italy (three points from two games). This success is largely down to the excellent form of Haaland, who shone against Estonia with seven shots, nine touches in the box and six aerial duels won.
Today's victory helped Norway consolidate their position at the top of the group, moving closer to their World Cup dream after nearly three decades. With Haaland at his peak, the Nordic team showed formidable attacking strength, scoring in each of their last four qualifying matches.
However, the road ahead is still challenging, with important matches against Israel and Italy in September. If he continues to maintain his scoring efficiency and stable form, Haaland and his teammates can write history.
