According to Reuters, the Norwegian Seismic Institute (NORSAR) reported that measurement stations in the coastal city of Bergen recorded ground tremors during two goals by striker Erling Haaland in Norway's 4-1 World Cup victory over Iraq. Haaland scored his first goal in the 29th minute — Norway's first World Cup goal since 1998 — and added another before halftime. The institute assessed that the tremors were caused by fans' jumping and cheering in Bergen, where the match was watched. The game was played in Boston. No damage or injuries were reported from the seismic events, which were described as minor.
