The Norwegian star Erling Haaland continues to deliver exceptional performances in the 2026 World Cup, having become the first player to score two goals against Brazil in a single match at the World Cup since the historic achievement by the German duo Toni Kroos and André Schürrle in the semifinals of the 2014 edition.

Haaland continued his scoring streak in the tournament, raising his tally to 7 goals, which included a brace against Iraq, a goal against Ivory Coast, and another brace against Senegal, before adding two more against Brazil, confirming that he is one of the standout stars of the current edition.

Haaland is leading the Norwegian national team steadily towards the advanced stages, reminiscent of the great scorers in World Cup history, while his attacking brilliance has been a continuous headache for opposing defenses, with the Brazilian team being his latest victim in the tournament.
