Norway’s Erling Haaland scored his first two World Cup goals, including one off a defensive blunder, in his tournament debut Tuesday to propel Norway to a 4-1 victory over Iraq in Group I.

Haaland’s Performance

It was the 56th and 57th international goals for the Manchester City striker and came in Norway’s first appearance in the tournament since reaching the round of 16 at the 1998 World Cup in France — two years before Haaland was born.

Leo Ostigard added the third goal in the 76th minute off a corner kick from Martin Odegaard. An own-goal by Iraq forward Aymen Hussein just before the final whistle completed Norway’s scoring.

Haaland’s first goal, which came in the 29th minute, came off a cross into the box from David Moller Wolfe. Haaland slid and used his right heel to finish it off.
