Norway were not happy with their goalless draw against Slovenia in the previous round of Nations League matches. The Norwegians kept looking for the goal, but an inspired Oblak kept out a goal.
Against Sweden, Halaand and his teammates had another chance, and it took them no more than ten minutes to open the scoring. It was the new Manchester City player who made the breakthrough in the box to make it 1-0.
The '9' leapt highest to powerfully head home a cross from his compatriot Bjorkan. Olsen tried his best to save it, but it was useless to reach a ball that went into the top corner of the net.
Norway took over the top spot for the moment with ten points, while Haaland made up for the disappointment of the previous match by scoring his 19th goal for his country in 21 matches played.
