OSLO, Norway (AP) — Manchester City star Erling Haaland twice missed a penalty for Norway against Israel in World Cup qualifying on Saturday.
Haaland’s first penalty was hit low and saved by Daniel Peretz. But Polish referee Szymon Marciniak ordered the kick to be retaken because the goalkeeper had moved off his line too soon.
He tried the other way second time, aiming for the corner, but Peretz guessed correctly again and palmed his effort away as Haaland looked on disbelievingly.
He also has 12 goals in nine matches for City this season, taking his club tally to 136 in 155 games for the club.
