New Delhi, June 10 || Erling Haaland scored his fourth goal in as many qualifiers to keep Norway perfect in Group I as they maintained their 100 per cent record with a 1-0 win over Estonia in Tallinn in the UEFA qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Norway dominated the first half but had to wait until the 62nd minute when Haaland finally made one of Norway’s glut of chances count. The forward’s initial effort came off the crossbar, but he reacted quickest to turn home the rebound and seal a joint-best fourth goal in UEFA qualifying.
Stale Solbakken’s men sit top of Group I, six points ahead of chasing Israel while Estonia remain on three points just above bottom-placed Moldova.
Meanwhile, Belgium let a three-goal lead slip before eventually winning a topsy-turvy match 4-3 against Wales to clinch their first win of UEFA qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 26.
A Romelu Lukaku penalty and further strikes by Youri Tielemens and Jeremy Doku gave the Red Devils a deserved lead inside the opening half an hour. Wales spent most of the opening period penned inside their own half but found a route back into the game through a spot-kick of their own, as Harry Wilson netted in stoppage time, FIFA reports.
