Norway's Erling Haland Breaks U-20 World Cup Record With 9 Goals vs. Honduras

Norwegian striker Erling Haland set a record on Thursday with nine goals against Honduras in a group-stage match at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.

The 18-year-old kicked off his scoring with a goal in the seventh minute, tallying four by halftime. He added a pair of scores in the final 10 minutes before ending the matchup with nine of Norway's 12 goals in the blowout victory over a Honduras side that ended the match with nine players.

Thursday's win also marked the largest margin of victory in FIFA U-20 history. Norway is now 1–2–0 in the 2020 World Cup.
