Haaland double sinks Iraq, Norway face Senegal test
Haaland double fires Norway past Iraq
Your team is back on the World Cup stage and Erling Haaland made sure it counted. Two goals from the striker gave Norway a winning start against Iraq in Group I (1). Twenty-eight years since the last World Cup appearance, and Haaland has already stamped his name on this one.
Senegal test looms after opening win
The second group game looks tougher. A predicted 2–1 defeat against Senegal would put a dent in the momentum from that Iraq win (2). Martin Ødegaard, still working his way back to sharpness after an injury-hit season, carries much of the creative burden. A result here would shift the group wide open.
