UEFA Nations League: Haaland's Lone Goal Seals Win For Norway Against Serbia

UEFA Nations League: Haaland's Lone Goal Seals Win For Norwa

Erling Haaland

Manchester City new signing Erling Haaland's tap-in gave Norway a narrow 1-0 win away to Serbia as they got their Nations League group B4 campaign underway on Thursday, but it was goalkeeper Orjan Nyland who really saved the day.

The visitors took the lead in the 26th minute as Martin Odegaard sliced open the defence with a beautiful pass to Marcus Pedersen who crossed for Haaland to deftly volley home from close range with the only shot on target in the first half.

Serbia dominated possession and put the Norwegian defence under tremendous pressure in the second half, but Nyland pulled off a string of fine saves to keep his clean sheet intact and secure the three points for his team.

Serbia host Slovenia on Sunday, while Norway take on Scandinavian rivals and group leaders Sweden in Stockholm.
