EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. \u2014 Erling Haaland and Norway rowed their way into the World Cup\u2019s round of 32.<\/p>\n

Haaland scored twice to raise his World Cup goals total to four, and the Vikings clinched advancement to the knockout rounds with a 3-2 win over Senegal on Monday night that was more of a slog than a sail.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my specialty to score goals,\u201d Haaland said. \u201cI\u2019m just really good at scoring goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the final whistle, Norway\u2019s players and staff gathered tightly in a 10-row formation just inside the penalty area at MetLife Stadium\u2019s north end, facing their red-shirted supporters, Haaland sitting in front as teammate Martin \u00d8degaard banged on a bongo drum. They alternated with the fans performing the Viking Row \u2014 chanting \u201cRo!\u201d while mimicking oarsmen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fun,\u201d Norway coach St\u00e5le Solbakken said through an interpreter. \u201cWe will not be rowing after the World Cup, but this can be a gimmick during the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus Pederson had put the Vikings ahead in the 43rd minute after replacing an injured teammate, and Haaland kept up his incredible goals streak in the 48th and 58th minutes to build a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very efficient,\u201d Senegal coach Pape Thiaw said through an interpreter.<\/p>\n

Haaland ran onto Martin \u00d8degaard\u2019s pass and put a left-footed shot past the outstretched left hand of goalkeeper \u00c9douard Mendy, capping an end-to-end counterattack for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

For his second goal, Haaland tunneled through the defense and 8 yards out raised his weaker right foot to volley in Patrick Berg\u2019s pass. Haaland raised a hand to an ear to inspire the Norway supporters.<\/p>\n

Haaland has 24 goals in his last 12 international games \u2014 scoring at least once in every match \u2014 and 59 goals in 52 international appearances. The 25-year-old striker joined England\u2019s Harry Kane in 2018 as the only players in the last 50 years with two-goal games in both of their first two World Cup appearances.<\/p>\n

He is second in the Golden Boot race, one behind Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi and tied with France\u2019s Kylian Mbapp\u00e9. Haaland nearly got another in first-half stoppage time, hitting a post after Mendy lost control of the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did miss an open goal. He could have scored even four,\u201d Solbakken said. \u201cHe is the best striker \u2014 he is not playing for France or Argentina. He scores for Norway.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Isma\u00efla Sarr got both goals for the Lions of Teranga, in the 53rd minute and in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we had just played slightly worse, then we would be in trouble,\u201d Solbakken said.<\/p>\n

Making its first World Cup appearance since 1998, Norway (2-0) is assured of advancing from Group I along with France. The Vikings need to beat Les Bleus on Friday for first place and what would appear to be an easier path in the knockout bracket.<\/p>\n

Senegal is 0-2 in a World Cup for the first time and needs a win over Iraq (0-2) to have any chance of advancing as a third-place team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got everything left to play for,\u201d Thiaw said.<\/p>\n

Pederson entered in the 13th minute for his World Cup debut after Julian Ryerson couldn\u2019t play through what Solbakken said was a nagging injury, and Pederson put the Vikings ahead with the help of mistakes by Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly and Mendy.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u00d8degaard made a centering pass that Koulibaly cleared straight to Pederson at the top of the arc. Pederson took two touches and sent a savable shot inside the near post that glanced off Mendy\u2019s left hand and into the goal.<\/p>\n

Mendy left in the 63rd minute because of an injury.<\/p>\n

While there had been storm warnings, a downpour stopped more than 3 1\/2 hours before kickoff. The skies opened again after the final whistle, causing announcements for fans to leave the stadium bowl for sheltered space.<\/p>\n
