The preview
Haaland and Norway aim to pile on Senegal misery
Norway flew out of the blocks with a 4-1 win over Iraq, and Erling Haaland scored twice. They face a wounded Senegal on 23/06/2026 with top spot in Group I in their sights. A win would put them in control.
Senegal need a response after losing 3-1 to France. They sit third in the group with no points. Defeat here would leave them needing a miracle on the final day.
This is a big test of Senegal’s nerve. They have the talent to trouble anyone, but they must defend better than they did against France. Stopping Haaland will be the first job, and it is not an easy one.
