Norway triumphs against Italy in World Cup qualifying, marking their first victory in a quarter-century.

Norway’s Erling Haaland showcased his outstanding skills as he capitalized on a pass from Martin Odegaard, scoring during a World Cup qualifying match against Italy. This significant game, held at Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo, ended with Norway triumphing 3-0, marking their first victory over Italy in 25 years.

Haaland added to his impressive record with this goal, marking his 41st in just 42 appearances for Norway. Striker Alexander Sorloth played a crucial role as well, netting a goal after an assist from Antonio Nusa, who proved to be a constant menace to the Italian defense.
