This goal brings the 25-year-old striker's total to 5 goals at the 2026 World Cup, officially surpassing Ronaldo 's best goalscoring record in a single World Cup. Previously, the Portuguese superstar's personal record was 4 goals at the 2018 World Cup.

Not only that, Haaland also achieved something Ronaldo never did in his career: scoring in the World Cup knockout rounds. Despite playing 7 fewer knockout matches than Ronaldo, the Manchester City striker has scored 1 goal, while CR7 has yet to score a single goal despite participating in many World Cups.
