Erling Haaland's exceptional scoring record with 34 goals in 36 games contrasted sharply with Norway's performance, as they suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Austria, underscoring how individual brilliance cannot always avert team failure.
Austria's victory was characterized by a clinical second-half display, with goals from Arnautovic, Lienhart, Posch, and Gregoritsch, demonstrating their offensive power and tactical superiority over Norway.
Despite a promising start with Haaland threatening early on, Norway failed to capitalize, showing how quickly momentum can shift in international football as they collapsed in the second half.
The match highlighted Norway's struggles without their regular captain Odegaard, with Haaland unable to transform his impressive individual feats into a cohesive team performance against Austria's ferocity.
