The first goal after seven minutes, the second after 62 – and then Erling Braut Haaland was historic.
Thus, the star both equaled and set Norway's goal record in the Nations League match against Slovenia at Ullevål in Oslo.
Haaland took advantage of a rebound that goalkeeper Jan Oblak left on Antonio Nusa's shot, and distinctly scored 1–0. In the second half, he used his left foot, was just as determined, and increased the lead to 3–0.
Jørgen Juve scored his last national team goal on June 8, 1934. Then, he was alone in having scored 33 goals for Norway – a record he got to keep for over 90 years.
Erling Braut Haaland has scored 34 goals in 36 national team matches.
Norway started the Nations League with a draw against Kazakhstan but has now won two in a row, with 3–0 against Slovenia as the latest, and thus tops group 3 in the B division.
