Haaland Scores Twice as Norway Beats Denmark 3-2 in Nations League
Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway opened their 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaign with a 3-2 victory over Denmark in Oslo.
Erling Haaland continued his impressive performance with two goals, as Norway emerged victorious with a 3-2 win over Denmark in their opening UEFA Nations League match. The Manchester City striker was instrumental in Norway's historic World Cup run, which concluded with a quarter-final loss to England. Haaland scored his second goal of the evening, sealing the win for his team.
Haaland's first goal was a result of the outstanding play by winger Antonio Nusa, who skillfully maneuvered into the box and delivered a pass for Haaland to finish with ease. Four minutes before Haaland's strike, Fulham forward Oscar Bobb put Denmark ahead by scoring a well-placed goal, directed by Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.
With just 11 minutes remaining, Brentford midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard added to Norway's lead with a remarkable free-kick from 25 yards. Earlier, former Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund equalized for Denmark's team in the 60th minute. Haaland scored his second goal with 74 minutes left on the clock, capitalizing on a well-executed corner to secure Norway's triumphant victory.
