Erling Haaland inspired Norway to one of the great shocks of the 2026 World Cup, knocking out five-time champions Brazil. Haaland headed Norway in front late in an entertainingly end-to-end game and then made sure of the win by hammering a low shot past Alisson from outside the box.

Around the end of the first millennium AD, a Viking explorer called Erik the Red became the first known European to establish a settlement in North America – he had reached Greenland.

Haaland opened the scoring with a powerful header, outmuscling defender Gabriel Magalhães before finding the back of the net.
