Haaland's Brace Leads Norway Past Senegal in World Cup

In a World Cup match on Monday, Norway triumphed over Senegal with a score of 3-2, allowing them to advance to the knockout stage. Erling Haaland, playing for Manchester City, scored two goals, bringing his tournament tally to four in just two games.

Norway's Marcus Holmgren Pedersen added a goal just before halftime. Senegal's Ismaila Sarr managed to reduce the deficit with a goal, but Norway maintained control of the match.

The game showcased Norway's strong performance, with Haaland capitalizing on defensive errors from Senegal, particularly from captain Kalidou Koulibaly. Norway's victory marked their first back-to-back wins in World Cup history.

They will face France next, while Senegal's hopes of progressing hinge on their final match against Iraq, where they must secure a win to avoid early elimination.
