While the 2026 World Cup qualifiers were in full swing, the Norwegian national team, participating in Group I, shared a real golden festival with the fans.
The hosts played against Moldovan players at home and defeated the opponent by a large score - 11:1. This match was remembered not only by the score, but also by historical records.
The team's main star, Erling Haaland, became the absolute hero in this match. He scored five times in 90 minutes, providing two assists to his teammates. With this result, he not only won the applause of fans, but also entered the history of football.
According to FIFA's official website, Haaland became the first player in the 21st century to score a penta-trick - five goals in a single match - in a World Cup qualifier.
At the same time, such an achievement was last observed in 1977. At that time, Austrian Hans Krankl scored five goals in the match between Austria and Malta.
Thus, Erling Haaland once again left an indelible mark not only on the Norwegian national team, but also on the history of world football.
Following this match, Norway leads the Group I qualifying table with 15 points. Norway will host Israel in their next qualifying match on October 11th.
