Norway beat Senegal 3-2 with Erling Haaland staring as they sealed their progress into the round-of-32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Marcus Pedersen gave Norway a lead after defensive errors from Senegal, before Haaland made it 2-0 right after the break. Ismaila Sarr got one back, but Haaland made it 3-1 with a stunning finish.
Norway then sunk back to absorb pressure and protect the lead, and Sarr made them pay with a lovely goal to make it 3-2 in stoppage time. That, though, came too late as Norway held on for a historic win. Earlier in the day, France sealed their qualification with a Kylian Mbappe brace helping to sink Iraq 3-0.
