- Erling Haaland scored his second goal of this World Cup after Iraq goalkeeper Jalal Hassan committed a major blunder that left the Norway striker with an easy finish.
- The goal came during the Iraq v Norway World Cup match, which the BBC was covering live.
Why it matters: Haaland's second goal came directly from a goalkeeping error by Jalal Hassan rather than attacking play, meaning the striker's tournament tally has been padded by a defensive mistake the BBC framed as a 'huge goalkeeping shocker.'
