Erling Haaland's Incredible Scoring Streak Comes to an End as England Silence the Manchester City Star
Erling Haaland, valued at €200 million, was expected to pose a significant threat to England in the World Cup quarter-finals. However, the Manchester City star's performance in Miami was underwhelming, with only two shots on goal and seven completed passes during the 120 minutes of play.
Haaland's subdued display was a surprise, given his impressive streak of scoring in 14 consecutive competitive games for Norway, a record in international football. This run included 27 goals, starting with a goal against Slovenia in 2024 and 16 goals during World Cup qualifying.
The Norwegian's frustration was evident when he was substituted in extra time, ending his remarkable scoring streak. Haaland's record surpasses that of legendary German striker Gerd Müller, who scored in 12 consecutive competitive games. Other notable players, including Michel Platini, Kylian Mbappé, and Cristiano Ronaldo, also feature on the list of top scorers in competitive games.
