TL;DR

The two goals scored by striker Erling Haaland in Norway's World Cup win over Iraq caused minor seismic tremors in Bergen, registered by NORSAR, according to Reuters.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland scored twice in Norway's 4-1 World Cup victory over Iraq on Wednesday, and the celebrations reportedly registered as small earthquakes on seismic monitors. According to Reuters, Norway's NORSAR institute recorded ground tremors in the city of Bergen during the goals, attributing them to fan activity. This is a follow-up to The Zioneer's earlier report at 21:54 Jerusalem time, which noted the same phenomenon based on the Reuters article. The original report was drawn from a single source; no further independent confirmation has been published.
