Haaland: What he did after the match has the country buzzing
Haaland’s wild gesture after NorwayEstonia
Erling Haaland didn’t just lead Norway to a resounding 4-1 victory over Estoniahe also delivered one of the most unexpected post-match celebrations in the history of the Scandinavian squad. At the end of a night where he once again lived up to his reputation as an attacking leader, the striker stunned everyone by ordering nearly seventy cheeseburgers for the entire group, a lighthearted way to celebrate a performance that brings Norway closer to the 2026 World Cup.
On the pitch, Haaland delivered as only he can. Invisible in the first half, much like the rest of his team, he exploded after the break: a powerful brace, a constant presence in the box, and total control over the game’s tempo. With these latest goals, he surpasses the symbolic thirty-goal mark for the season and further cements his status as an indispensable asset for his national team.
The impact is all the greater because this victory represents a psychological turning point. Booed at halftime by a frustrated Oslo crowd, the team responded with character, first through Alexander Sørloth’s opener and then, inevitably, through Haaland. Norway now glimpses World Cup qualification for the first time since 1998.
The burger episode, which quickly went viral in the locker room, captures a new team spirit: a squad that wins, enjoys itself, and dares to dream big. Haaland proves that he is not just an extraordinary goal scorer, but also a leader capable of uniting the entire group around a simple, unifying moment.
