Haaland equals best scoring run for Norway in Finland victory

Norway has in its ranks a born goalscorer, capable of scoring under any name. Haaland, as he is known in the world of football, has once again found the back of the net with his national team, this time with a new name on his back: 'Braut Haaland', adding his middle name to his surname.

In the 17th minute, the Manchester City striker took responsibility for the penalty awarded for a foul on Schjelderup. The 'Cyborg', with absolute calm, sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to perfect his already impressive image with Norway.

Haaland, who only played the first half, scored a goal that was all the more special because it allowed him to equal his best historical streak with the Norwegian national team. Between September 2021 and June 2022, he had scored in seven consecutive matches, and on Thursday he repeated the performance, in a series that began on November 14, 2024 against Slovenia in the group matches of the Nations League.

His statistics with the national team continue to climb. He already has 43 goals in 44 matches (including 9 in the last 7 matches), and this record is set to improve further. There is no doubt that his goalscoring ability is exceptional and that he is on his way to breaking all records. He was born for this.

Against Moldova, in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, he could find the net for the eighth consecutive time, taking a further step towards the next World Cup.
