This is his tournament! Haaland scores his 22nd goal in the UEFA Nations League. How many has Ronaldo scored?
Norway are facing Portugal in a second-round UEFA Nations League match. In the 65th minute, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland scored to make it 1-1.
Diogo Costa kept out Ødegaard's shot, but after a knockdown from Patrick Berg, Haaland still managed to bundle the ball into the net. It was the striker's first goal of his career against Portugal. However, the Norwegian's international statistics were even more impressive. Haaland now has 65 goals in 57 appearances for the national team. The striker has also registered 72 goal contributions.
Haaland's latest Nations League goal was particularly significant. The Norwegian forward has now taken his tally in the competition to 22 goals, strengthening his status as the tournament's all-time leading scorer.
Second on that list is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 15 Nations League goals for Portugal. As a result, the gap between the two superstars in the competition continues to grow.
Portugal still hold the lead. João Félix scored for Roberto Martínez's side in the first half, while Gonçalo Ramos struck after the break after capitalizing on a blunder by goalkeeper Nyland.
