Haaland fires Norway closer to World Cup return in easy win over Israel
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick despite missing a penalty as Norway cruised to a 5-0 thrashing of Israel on Saturday to edge closer to qualifying for a first World Cup since 1998.
Norway, who have not played at a major tournament since Euro 2000, now lead Group I with nine points more than second-placed Italy, who have two games in hand and play in Estonia later Saturday.
The Scandinavians will secure a place at next year's finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico with a win over the Estonians on Tuesday if Italy fail to defeat either Estonia or Israel in their next two matches.
Manchester City striker Haaland is the leading scorer in European qualifying with 12 goals so far.
Ahead of kick-off, hundreds of people attended a pro-Palestinian demonstration, chanting "Free Palestine" to protest against Israel's "genocide" in Gaza, AFP journalists reported.
The head of the Norwegian football association, Lise Klaveness, recently said she was pushing "for Israel to be sanctioned".
In early action, Haaland surprised the Norwegian fans in the Ullevaal Stadium when his penalty was saved by Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.
The spot-kick was ordered to be retaken for encroachment inside the area and Haaland struck his second effort the opposite direction, only for it to be parried away again by Peretz.
But Norway did forge ahead in the 18th minute through an Anan Khalaili own goal, before Haaland raced clear to score in a ninth successive international appearance.
The hosts grabbed their third just seconds after Israel kicked off again in the 28th minute, as Peretz kicked the ball off Idan Nachmias, who was under pressure from Haaland, and into the net for another own goal.
Nachmias also had to go off injured after colliding with the post.
Haaland added his second in the 63rd minute, powering home a header from Antonio Nusa's cross, before nodding in to complete his hat-trick with 18 minutes left.
Elsewhere, Hungary beat Armenia 2-0 in Group F, meaning Portugal could qualify with back-to-back wins over the Republic of Ireland, who they were facing at home later Saturday, and then Hungary on Tuesday.
