Following the match at Ullevaal on the evening of 13/11, Haaland, accompanied by two Norway national team members, exited the stadium to receive 70 cheeseburgers from a delivery person. The 25-year-old forward cheerfully chatted and took photos with fans before bringing the food to his jubilant teammates in the dressing room.

Inside the dressing room, the Norway players danced and sang along to "Händarna mot himmelen" (Hands Towards the Sky), a song often featured during celebrations, festivals, or lively events.

Fulham midfielder Sander Berge laughed when he heard about Haaland acting as a "food delivery person", remarking, "That's a captain's masterclass".

In the press room, coach Stale Solbakken also chuckled upon learning about it: "Ah, so that's what tonight was all about".

Yesterday, the 28,000-capacity Ullevaal stadium was packed with spectators, including 88-year-old King Harald V and Crown Prince Haakon and his wife. Tall strikers Alexander Sorloth and Haaland both scored two goals, helping Norway crush Estonia 4-1.

This result moves Norway closer to World Cup qualification after 28 years. They currently lead Group I of the 2026 World Cup European qualifiers with 21 points, three points ahead of Italy, and possess a superior goal difference (+29 compared to +12). In the final match on 16/11, Norway will visit Italy at San Siro, Milan. Norway would only lose their top spot if they lose to Italy by a margin of at least 9 goals.

Isabel Haugseng Johansen, Haaland's girlfriend, was also proud of Norway's victory. "It's indescribable", she told VG outside the stadium.

Isabel and Haaland became parents with the arrival of their first child in late 2024, and she stated that her celebration plans would be simple. "I'll go home with the baby and sleep. Sleep while I still can".

When asked by reporters if she would attend the final match against Italy in Milan, Isabel smiled and replied, "No, I have to be a mother at home".

If there are no surprises in the final round, Norway will finish top of the group and secure World Cup qualification after 28 years. Norway's last appearance in a major tournament was the 1998 World Cup, featuring the generation of Tore Andre Flo, former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the team's current coach, Stale Solbakken. In that tournament, they finished above Morocco and Scotland, only behind Brazil. However, in the round of 16, Norway lost 0-1 to Italy.
