This resounding triumph keeps Norway with a perfect record in the World Cup qualifying phase and consolidates its position at the top of Group I with 15 points in five matches.\n\nThe five goals represent a milestone in Haaland&#8217;s career playing for Norway and are the most scored by a Norwegian player since the year 2000.\n\n\n<p>This result leaves Norway six points ahead of Italy, which is in second place. The Italians achieved a narrow victory against Israel on Monday, with a score of 5-4.<\/p>\n\n\nItaly, led by Gennaro Gattuso, has a pending match and seeks to avoid finishing in second place, which would force them to qualify through the repechage.\n\nIn addition to Haaland&#8217;s goals, Felix Horn Myhre and Martin \u00d8degaard also contributed with scores, while Thelo Aasgaard added four more goals for Norway&#8217;s victory. The last qualifying match between Norway and Italy will be played in November.\n\nItaly&#8217;s Monday encounter was not decided until Sandro Tonali scored the winning goal at the last gasp, securing the victory for Gattuso&#8217;s team and surpassing Israel in the table on goal difference.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It was the craziest match I&#8217;ve ever been involved in as a coach.<\/p><cite>Gennaro Gattuso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nGattuso, who replaced Luciano Spalletti as Italy&#8217;s coach in June, acknowledged that the match was &#8220;the craziest one I&#8217;ve been involved in as a coach.&#8221;\n\n&#8220;But that&#8217;s my fault and not the players&#8217;,&#8221; Gattuso added. &#8220;If we want to play a certain way, we need to improve on this.
