, ,

Norway defeated Israel 4-2 in a World Cup qualifier, continuing their strong away form.

David Møller Wolfe opened the scoring with his first international goal, and although Israel equalized via a deflected Mohamed Abu Fani strike, Norway quickly regained control.

Alexander Sørloth and Kristoffer Ajer added goals before Erling Haaland sealed the result late on.

Dor Turgeman netted a consolation for Israel in stoppage time. Despite a few bright moments, Israel's defense couldn’t contain Norway's pressure.
