A Scandinavian Showdown with History at Stake: Haaland Targets Rare Norway Achievement Against Denmark
- On Thursday, Erling Haaland scored twice to lead Norway to a 3-2 Nations League victory over Denmark in Oslo, ending Norway's 44-year wait for a competitive home win against their Scandinavian neighbors.
