Haaland Brace Propels Norway Past Senegal to 2026 World Cup Last 32
Erling Haaland struck twice as Norway edged Senegal 3-2 in New Jersey to secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup knockout stage with a game to spare. Marcus Holmgren Pedersen opened the scoring before Haaland doubled the lead early in the second half. Senegal’s Ismaila Sarr pulled one back and scored again late on, but Norway held on alongside France in the last 32. The win keeps Norway unbeaten and boosts Haaland’s Golden Boot bid alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. Senegal must now beat Iraq and hope other results go their way to avoid elimination.
