At a time when the European regional qualification for the 2026 World Cup was in full swing, the Norwegian national team, which became the absolute leader of Group I, achieved another convincing victory. In the match, the Norwegians defeated Estonia 4-1 at home, bringing their winning streak to seven games.
Otherwise, Norway's advantage was felt from the very beginning of the match. The team put the opponent in a difficult position with their game system, quick sharpening, and intense pressure in attack. In this match, the team's two leaders - Alexander Sørloth and Erling Haaland - ensured the team's victory by scoring two goals each. In particular, Haaland's coordinated actions and correct positioning further strengthened the Norwegian offensive.
With these goals, Erling Haaland reached 53 international goals, equalizing with French star Kylian Mbappé. But the most interesting thing is the large difference in the number of games between the two forwards. Mbappé needed 93 matches to score 53 goals, while Haaland reached that number in only 47 matches. That is, he shows that he has been scoring more than one goal in almost every game.
Haaland's incredibly high pace this season deserves special recognition. He scored a total of 14 goals in seven World Cup qualifying matches, becoming the clear leader of the scoring list. His constant threatening moves and enthusiasm on the pitch are helping Norway strengthen their lead in the group.
Norway's confident and consistent performance has once again proven how serious their goals are this season. The national team is steadily approaching the World Cup with its unique confidence, game intonation, and dynamics.
The match was memorable not only for the victory, but also for its own records, comparisons, and hints of the future. If Haaland continues at this pace, it's bound to open doors of great opportunities for Norway.
