Erling Haaland Wins Game with Late Goal

Erling Haaland scored an 86th-minute winner as Norway beat Ivory Coast 2-1 on June 30.

Norway took the lead in the 39th minute through Antonio Nusa's superb strike.

Ivory Coast equalised with 74 minutes played, but Haaland intervened at the end.

He has become the first player to score on his first three appearances at a World Cup.

Haaland's goal was his 60th in 53 international games, making him the fastest player to reach this milestone.

His performance was notable for its restraint, with Haaland waiting for the right moment to pounce.

Norway will face Brazil at MetLife Stadium on July 5, with history on their side, having an unbeaten record against the five-time World Cup winners.

Norway's manager Stale Solbakken instructed his team to play a conservative game, which seemed to limit Haaland's involvement.

But when the moment came, Haaland was there, scoring with a mis-hit finish to win the match.

The win sets up a potentially daunting clash with Brazil, but Norway are confident, having beaten Brazil before.

Erling Haaland's record-breaking goal has given Norway a chance to progress in the tournament.

On June 30, Haaland made history, and his team will look to build on this momentum.

The stage is set for an exciting match between Norway and Brazil on July 5.
