Holann leading scorer in World Cup qualifiers

Norway national team striker Erling Haaland is almost certain to become the top scorer of the 2026 World Cup qualifying stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In October, the Norwegians defeated Israel 5-0 in a qualifying match. In this victory, Manchester City star Haaland's hat-trick played a crucial role.

After six matches in the current qualifying stage, Haaland has scored 12 goals and is clearly leading the list of top scorers in the European qualifiers. Memphis Depay holds second place with seven goals.

Third place is shared by Marko Arnautović, Mikel Merino, Harry Kane, Andrej Kramarić, and Kevin De Bruyne, each with six goals. Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mateo Retegui are also high on the list with five goals each.

Haaland's outstanding performance is an important factor for his team's success.
