Overview
- Erling Haaland scored three times to reach 50 international goals as Norway swept past Israel in Oslo.
- Israel contributed two first-half own goals through Anan Khalaili and Idan Nachmias to deepen the deficit.
- Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz denied Haaland from the spot twice in the opening minutes, with the second kick retaken after a VAR ruling.
- Norway are perfect at six wins from six and still have Estonia at home and Italy away in November to determine direct qualification.
- Italy beat Estonia 3-1 to sit six points back with a game in hand, and the Oslo match was played under heightened security with pro-Palestinian protests.
