In the FIFA World Cup 2026 match against Senegal, Norway's Erling Haaland scored two stupendous goals at the New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford

With this, he became the sixth player in the tournament's history to score multiple goals in each of his first two appearances at the global showpiece. Haaland has now joined the likes of Guillermo Stabile of Argentina, who achieved the feat in his first three matches in 1930, Hungary's Sandor Kocsis, who did so in his first four matches in 1954, France's Just Fontaine in 1958, Poland's Grzegorz Lato in 1974, and England captain Harry Kane in 2018

With a tally of four goals, he has surpassed Kjetil Rekdal, who was Norway's all-time leading goalscorer in the tournament with two goals

The 25-year-old footballer has now scored 59 goals in 52 appearances for Norway and has found the net in each of his last 12 competitive matches for his country

The 3-2 win over Senegal has also helped Norway seal the berth in the round of 32 of the ongoing FIFA World Cup
