Haaland Scores Twice in World Cup, Joins Elite List
Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker, has made history by becoming the sixth player to score multiple goals in his first two FIFA World Cup appearances. He achieved this milestone by scoring a brace in Norway's 3-2 win against Senegal on Tuesday morning, following his earlier performance where he scored two goals in Norway's 4-1 victory over Iraq.
According to Opta, Haaland joins a prestigious list of players who have scored multiple goals in their first two World Cup appearances, which includes Guillermo Stábile (1930), Sándor Kocsis (1954), Just Fontaine (1958), Grzegorz Lato (1974), and Harry Kane (2018). Haaland will aim to lead Norway to victory in their final group game against France later this week.
