Erling Braut Haaland has set a number of records during his career. Early on it also became clear that he was on course to break Jørgen Juve’s legendary record of 33 goals for the Norwegian men’s national team. Before Thursday’s game against Slovenia, Haaland had 32 goals in 35 games. National team goals number 33 and 34 for Haaland came on a rainy mat at the Ullevaal stadium. After just six minutes, he scored the record goal, when he put a rebound from Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak into the goal with his right leg from close range.

There he has reigned alone for almost 100 years, but then came “Brauten” and national team goal number 33, said TV 2’s commentator Øyvind Alsaker. – He is unique and a monster. He was born to score goals. He has an instinct that is unique. He has that physique. He has the finishing technique, now also with the right and the head, said news’s football expert Carl-Erik Torp, and continued: – He is starting to become quite a complete goalscorer. It’s not just one thing. He has worked and decided early on to become a scoring machine. It has really worked. After Alexander Sørloth made it 2-0 early in the second half, Haaland came up with national team scoring number 34 after just over an hour of play. Thus, Jørgen Juve’s record is history. RECORD MAN: Jørgen Juve held the record as top scorer on the Norwegian men’s national team alone for over 90 years. – It is a historic moment that we are witnessing here. You have heard the name “Jørgen Juve” for as long as you have followed football and Norwegian national team football. The unbeatable record that has stood since before the Second World War, said Torp after the 3-0 score. At the time, Juve equaled Einar “Jeja” Gundersen’s record of 26 goals when he scored at home against Denmark on 25 September 1932. He also secured the record alone with two goals at home against Hungary on 20 June 1933. Juve scored his last national team goal at home against Austria on 8 June 1934. It was only Juve’s 27th international match, but he scored no more goals in the last 18 international matches he played – then primarily as a defender. He played his 45th and last international match in 1937. – Nor are little boys who have tried to take it, Odd Iversen, John Carew, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and several others. You just have to take your hat off, says news expert Bengt Eriksen about the new record holder. Jørgen Juve A internationals: 45, (1928–1937), captain in 23 games. Goals: 33. Clubs: Urædds Ballklubb (until 1926), Lyn (1927–38), Basel (during study tour in autumn 1930 and winter 1931). Youth club: Urædd’s Ball Club. Has received the Norwegian Football Association’s highest award, the gold mark. Juve made his debut in the national team in 1928 and played the first three games as a back. The following year he had his breakthrough as a centre-forward and scored a hat-trick in the year’s first two international matches and two goals in the third, i.e. eight goals in three matches. He also scored in every international match in 1929. In 1930 he scored eight goals in the first three matches, two of them hat-tricks, which meant that he had scored in eight consecutive matches. It is a Norwegian record. In these eight games he had scored a total of 19 goals (four hat-tricks, three games with two goals and one game with one goal). In 1933 he scored another hat-trick, and five hat-tricks for the national team is also a Norwegian record.

I don’t think there will ever be a Norwegian national team player who breaks the record Erling Braut Haaland sets the day he will no longer play for Norway’s A national team. Isabell Herlovsen holds the record as the highest scoring Norwegian national team player regardless of gender, with 67 goals in 133 matches for the women’s national team, while Cristiano Ronaldo is the man with the most national team goals regardless of nation with 132 goals in 214 matches for Portugal. In the graph below, you can see how the goal statistics of the three top scorers on the Norwegian men’s national team have developed: Terrific start In the absence of Martin Ødegaard due to injury, Julian Ryerson was pushed into midfield. And Norway immediately took control of the game. Haaland was close to scoring when he rounded Oblak after a minute and a half, but the finish from an angle was saved on the line. Norway continued to press and after six minutes the goal came, when Haaland was first on a return and got the ball between Oblak’s legs. – Norway has opened like fireworks, said TV 2’s expert commentator Jesper Mathisen after the 1-0 score. – It is the best opening, also in terms of play, that Norway has had at Ullevaal under Ståle Solbakken. Talk about going out and just grabbing the game. They have been on fire when it comes to recoveries, when it comes to having enough players in and around the box. They have been direct and created trouble every single minute, Mathisen continued. Most goals for Norway’s men’s national football team 1. Jørgen Juve, 33 goals (45 games) 1.

Just before half an hour had been played, they had two good chances in one minute, but both times Ørjan Håskjold Nyland made good saves. – The match has completely changed character in the last ten to twelve minutes, Mathisen said after half an hour of play. Five minutes later, Nyland brilliantly saved a header from Slovenia’s star forward, Benjamin Sesko, which was admittedly, questionably, waved offside. – It is one of the best goalkeeper saves I have seen at Ullevaal for as long as I can remember. It’s a huge save. It is top world class. Nyland has impressed me. Hasn’t had much to do, but the three times he has been in action here, he has been very solid and made good saves, said Torp. GOOD: Ørjan Håskjold Nyland made several good saves in the first half. Photo: NTB Also in the second half, it was Norway who got off to the best start. Antonio Nusa picked up a loose pass and got the ball to Haaland. The striker had an argument with the ball and was able to push the ball forward to Alexander Sørloth. From twelve metres, Sørloth made no mistake and hammered home Norway’s second goal, before assisting Haaland ten minutes later as Norway went up 3-0. Important matches in the National League Norway now continues the National League with an away match against Austria on Sunday evening. Austria plays on Thursday at home against Kazakhstan, where they lead 3-0 after an hour of play. With a win in their group in the National League, Norway will have a great chance of reaching a replay in the World Cup qualification, should they not qualify directly. The results in the autumn’s matches will also affect Norway’s place in the Fifa ranking, which further determines at which level Norway will be drawn in the groups in the World Cup qualification. It is expected that the groups in the WC qualification will be drawn towards the end of the year.
