Norway Defeats Iraq 4-1 in World Cup 2026, Haaland Scores Double

Norway overcame Iraq 4‑1 to keep its group‑lead aspirations alive. Haaland's two goals gave the Norwegians an early edge, and subsequent own‑goal errors by Ostigard and Hussein pushed the score further.

The result places Norway firmly among the contenders in the death‑group, while they look to consolidate the lead in the next fixture. Iraq, plagued by defensive lapses and a lack of scoring, saw its campaign end prematurely.
