FIFA 2026: Haaland's second World Cup double lifts Norway past Senegal

Erling Haaland's brace propelled Norway to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Senegal, securing their spot in the World Cup knockout stages after a 28-year absence. Despite a strong start from Senegal, Norway's attack, spearheaded by the in-form Haaland, proved too much. Marcus Pedersen opened the scoring, followed by two clinical finishes from Haaland. Ismaila Sarr's late goals offered a glimmer of hope for Senegal, but it wasn't enough.
