FIFA World Cup: Erling Haaland reached 50 international goals as Norway strode towards a place at the FIFA World Cup 2026 after beating Israel 5-0 in the qualifiers.

The 25-year-old became only the sixth man ever to reach 50 goals in fewer than 50 caps.

The game got off to a dramatic start when Daniel Peretz saved Erling Haaland’s penalty and, when a retake was ordered, repeated the feat. The Israeli net was rippled, however, when an Alexander Sorloth cross looped over the goalkeeper via the back of Anan Khalaili’s neck.
