The former Molde striker, who featured under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, put the Central American side to the sword in a 12-0 demolition
Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland scored nine goals as he and Norway enjoyed a record-breaking day in a 12-0 demolition of Honduras in the Under-20 World Cup.
Though both were guaranteed to finish behind Uruguay and New Zealand in Group C, a victory could lead to qualification as one of the top third-place countries and it did not take long for Norway to show themselves the team on top.
The 18-year-old Haaland opened the scoring for his side in the seventh minute and then doubled the advantage in the 20th minute to send Norway on their way.
After Leo Oestigaard made it 3-0 on the half-hour mark, Haaland completed his hat-trick six minutes later from the spot. He would get a fourth before the half was through as Norway walked into the dressing room with a commanding 5-0 advantage.
But things only got worse for Honduras in the second half.
After Jens Hague made it 6-0 a minute following the restart, Haaland netted again – his fifth of the evening – in the 50th minute, while Axel Gomez was sent off with a second yellow card seven minutes later.
In the 67th minute, Haaland equaled the Under-20 World Cup record with his sixth goal of the night and then 10 minutes later, shattered it with his seventh strike.
Erman Markovic made it 10-0, before Haaland added yet two more goals, in the 88th and 90th minute respectively, to cap off the scoring for the Norwegians.

Who was it against? depending on the opposition games can be a breeze. Remember when Everton won a game 22-0.... checked, it was Honduras, the team everyone smashes like 5/6-0 every year at regular level. He is a talented kid but they must have been like local park level to Norway with all due respect. Factors such as resources come into question as well and European countries got way better facilities than Honduras. A scoreline of this nature isnt unexpected.... but I promise this kids hype will die down like Odegaards did.....

Am watching the game right now and I can't believe this guy is this good... He knows where to be found on the pitch... Even better than any other players plus they have bees denied 2 goals which could have made it 14-0 seriously. These guys knows each other better
