Dan Biton tripped Patrick Berg in the third minute to gift Norway an early penalty, but Daniel Peretz dived right to keep out Haaland's kick.

The Israel goalkeeper was penalised by the video assistant referee (VAR) for coming off his line, and although Haaland went the opposite way with his second attempt, Peretz guessed correctly again.

However, that was only a temporary moment of respite for Israel. Norway went ahead in the 18th minute, as Alexander Sorloth's cross struck Anan Khalaili's back and looped over Peretz.

Haaland then made it 2-0 just one minute after Biton went close for Israel, taking in Sorloth's pass and applying a cool right-footed finish to cap a quick counter-attack.

Haaland was also involved in Norway's third goal in the 28th minute. With the striker pressing high, Peretz hit a rushed clearance against Idan Nachmias and in, and to add insult to injury, the Israel defender went off injured after colliding with the post.

It remained one-way traffic after the break, and Haaland's next two goals came from the same source as he rose to nod two left-wing crosses from Antonio Nusa beyond Peretz.

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen came off the bench and had a potential sixth goal disallowed for offside after being fed by Haaland.

Haaland now has 12 goals in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, from six appearances. No other player has netted more than six times in this UEFA qualification cycle.

Norway, meanwhile, has scored 29 goals in its six 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The only team to score more in a campaign consisting of fewer than 10 games is Germany, which netted 33 times in eight matches ahead of the 1982 tournament.
