Erling Braut Haland didn't complete any passes in the first period - but scored Norway's goal

The Netherlands were forced to draw with Norway after the third spell of Louis van Gaal.

Norway's Erling Braut Haland scored the winning goal when he controlled the ball inside the box and turned to score his eighth international goal.

Davy Klaassen achieved equal success when he brought Georginio Wijaldum's cross home.

Borussia Dortmund's Haaland nearly won the game, but it was too late for them to win.

Van Gaal, who was in charge between 2000 and 2002 and 2012-2014, replaced Frank de Boer who resigned after the Euro 2020 exit.

In 2022 World Cup qualifying, Group G will be the closest.

The group was led by Turkey with eight points. Norway, Montenegro, and the Netherlands had seven each.

As Montenegro and Turkey drew 2-2, Risto Radunovic scored in the 97th minute an equalizer for Montenegro.
