Norwegian national team star Erling Haaland reacted enthusiastically to his team's victorious match against Israel in the 2026 World Cup qualifier. The footballer shared photos from the match and expressed his reaction to the win.
Haaland reposted a photo with the match result in his Instagram story, captioning it "Yessss" along with a bicep emoji. He also posted pictures from the match, writing "2/2. See you again in June" and added a Norwegian flag emoji.
It should be noted that the Norwegians confidently defeated the Israeli team away with a score of 2-4. Erling Haaland also made his mark in this match, scoring his team's last goal.
In the first two qualifying matches, the Norwegian team has already scored 9 goals — before the match with Israel, they defeated the Moldovan team 0-5. Such a confident start to the tournament allows the Norwegians to hope for successfully overcoming the qualification and reaching the World Cup for the first time since 1998, when Norway even made it to the round of 16.
Interestingly, the last time the Norwegian team made it to the World Cup was so long ago that Erling Haaland wasn't even born yet.
