In an exciting World Cup qualifying match, Manchester City star Erling Haaland proved his worth by scoring a hat-trick for Norway against Israel, despite missing two penalties.<\/p>\n
The first penalty by Haaland was saved by goalkeeper Daniel Peretz. However, the referee ordered it to be retaken because the goalkeeper moved forward. In the second attempt, Haaland tried a shot to the corner, but Peretz guessed the direction again, frustrating the Norwegian striker.<\/p>\n
Haaland recovered quickly and scored a goal with a powerful shot after receiving a pass from Alexander S\u00f8rloth. This was his tenth goal in the qualifying phase.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian striker continued his impressive performance, scoring two more goals to complete his hat-trick and raise his tally to 12 goals in the competition, the most in the UEFA rankings.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Haaland has scored 12 goals in nine matches for Manchester City this season, totaling 136 goals in 155 matches for the club.<\/p>\n
With this hat-trick, Haaland reached 51 goals with the Norwegian national team, establishing himself as the country’s all-time top scorer.<\/p>\n
Norway maintains a perfect record in the classification, with six wins in six matches. They lead Group I with a nine-point advantage over Italy, although the Italians still have mathematical possibilities of reaching the first place and obtaining a direct pass to next summer’s World Cup.<\/p>\n
Norway has not participated in a World Cup since 1998.<\/p>\n
Before the match in Oslo, peaceful pro-Palestinian protests took place. The police stayed near the stadium, at a safe distance from the protesters.<\/p>\n
The stadium was almost full, with between 22,000 and 23,000 spectators. Capacity was reduced by 3,000 seats due to security measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
