Erling Haaland recovered from early penalty woe to net a hat-trick in Norway's 5-0 World Cup qualification win over Israel

Haaland claimed the matchball despite having an early penalty and a retake saved on an eventful day in Oslo.

It's a result that bolsters the Manchester City star's hopes of playing at his first major international tournament in North America next summer, with Norway top of UEFA Group I on the back of six wins out of six.

At the very least, they are guaranteed a playoff spot and the gargantuan goal difference that Haaland has helped to rack up also plays in their favour.

In Norway's previous qualifier, Haaland scored five in an 11-1 win over Moldova and he has 12 goals in six 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

What is the most goals Erling Haaland has scored in a match?

The five-goal haul against Moldova only equalled Haaland's best effort over 90 minutes.

In 2022/23, he scored five in a 7-0 demolition of RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League last 16. A year later, he did likewise as City beat Luton Town 6-2 in the FA Cup.

Although he has never gone beyond five in senior football, Haaland famously scored nine times in the same game for Norway against Honduras at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2019.

How many hat-tricks has Haaland scored?

Overall for club and country, Haaland has scored 27 senior hat-tricks as of October 11, 2025.

The bulk of those have come for Manchester City. He has claimed 11 matchballs for the 10-time English champions, although a year had passed since his most recent City treble by the time he plundered five against Moldova.

That was Haaland's fifth international hat-trick for Norway, the same amount that he netted in just 10 months with RB Salzburg.

Haaland's exploits in Austria paved the way for a move to Borussia Dortmund, for whom he scored four hat-tricks.

The teenage Haaland scored his first hat-trick for Molde in June 2017.
