Haaland said: "I don't want to talk too much about (the possibility of qualifying for the World Cup). I am only focused on winning the next game now. I thought this way in the last game, and I think the same now."
After winning this round, Norway leads the European Group I of the World Preliminaries with 18 points with 18 points from 6 games, 6 points ahead of second-place Italy with 1 game more, and a goal difference lead of 19 goals.
