Erling Haaland He once again showed his voracity with a hat trick against Kazakhstan, defeated 5-0 by Norway in the Nations League with a great performance by the Manchester City striker and with the contribution of Alexander Sörloth, author of a goal that completed a rout that allowed the Scandinavian team sign their promotion to League A.
Nobody can follow Haaland’s lead in the Nations League. His superiority, after scoring three goals against Kazakhstan, is incontestable. He has already accumulated seven in the competition and is the top scorer of the current edition, ahead of the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, the Swede Viktor Gyokeres and the Slovenian Benjamin Sesko, all with five goals.
And in total, this season, between club and national team, Haaland has celebrated the chilling figure of 22 goals in 21 games in all competitions. The Norwegian, without a doubt, maintains his status as an insatiable scorer of recent years. He has no brakes and, this Sunday, Kazakhstan suffered firsthand the successes of the City attacker.
On this occasion, it only took 23 minutes to open the scoring. He collected a rebound inside the area from a shot by Antonio Nusa and did not forgive with an unappealable right hand. He repeated it on the stroke of half-time, with a cross header from Nusa’s center and closed his hat trick in the second half thanks to an accurate shot from outside the area close to the post.
In between, Sörloth joined the party to score 3-0. The Atlético de Madrid forward hit a shot from the penalty spot with which he scored his third goal in the Nations League to reach seven this season, still far from the 26 he celebrated last year.
Kazakhstan would still receive the same from Norway, the work of Nusa, who received a well-deserved award for their great game. The final score of 5-0 showed the overwhelming superiority of Norway, which with Austria’s defeat against Slovenia (1-1), finished League B in first position to be promoted directly to the competition’s elite.
