Erling Haaland wins FIFA Man of the Match for Norway-Iraq on his first World Cup game ever. Norway dominated Iraq 4-1 in their Group I opener at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, with Haaland’s two close-range strikes setting the tone before Leo Østigård and an own goal sealed it.

The Manchester City star’s clinical finishing brought his international tally to 57 goals in 51 caps, while his pre-game yoga pose on the pitch captured his serene focus.

Norwegian fans in Viking helmets rowed imaginary oars on Boston escalators, turning heads en route to the stadium as the golden generation eyes a deep run in the expanded 48-team tournament.
