Haaland's Historic World Cup Run Continues!
6 Jul
Summary
- Erling Haaland scored his seventh goal, advancing Norway to the quarterfinals.
- He matches Gerd Müller's 1970 record for most goals in first four World Cup games.
- Haaland is tied with Mbappé and Messi in the Golden Boot standings with seven goals.
Erling Haaland's exceptional World Cup journey has propelled Norway into the quarter-finals for the first time. The prolific striker has found the net in every one of Norway's four matches in the 2026 tournament, accumulating an impressive seven goals and cementing his status as a top performer.
This scoring spree places Haaland in elite company, mirroring Gerd Müller's 1970 achievement of scoring at least seven goals in his first four World Cup appearances. Only a select few, including Eusébio, Just Fontaine, and Sándor Kocsis, had previously reached this milestone.
As the tournament progresses to the quarter-finals, Haaland shares the Golden Boot lead with Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, with each player having scored seven goals. This puts Haaland on track to break further records.
