New Delhi, June 23 -- Erling Haaland netted twice for the second consecutive time in the FIFA World Cup 2026 as Norway edged past Senegal 3-2 to qualify for the round of 32 from Group I. Having qualified for the first time since 1998 World Cup, Norway have so far put up a dominating show in the group stages, thanks to Manchester City striker Haaland, who scored a brace in both the games.

However, Norway's real test lies ahead on June 27 at Boston Stadium when they take on 2018 champions France in their final group fixture. The two time champions have also made it to the knockouts, with wins over Senegal and Iraq, courtesy of Kylian Mbappe, who scored in both the games.
