Norway star Erling Haaland continued to break records with his country’s national team in his first individual appearance at the World Cup when he helped Ivory Coast overcome a barrier in the Round of 32 on Tuesday night.
With the match heading towards the end at 1-1, Holland scored the winning goal in the 86th minute to make it 2-1, giving his country a place in the Round of 16, where they face Brazil.
After today’s goal, Holland kept up his goalscoring streak for the 13th game in a row, bringing his total to 25 goals in that period.
In recent games, he scored five goals in one game against Moldova, a hat-trick against the Zionist Organization, a brace against Estonia and a brace against Italy, before scoring twice against Iraq and twice against Senegal, leading to his latest goal against Ivory Coast tonight.
With the feat, Holland became the fastest player in soccer history to reach 60 international goals in just 53 games, according to Bleacher Report and CBS Sports.
In addition, Norway have not lost a game in which Haaland has scored as the winning streak extends to 16 consecutive matches.
Haaland also took his tally to 5 goals in the current World Cup, making him the Norwegian player with the most goals in a single World Cup game, continuing the streak of historic achievements that the Citizens forward is creating at lightning speed.
