Alexander Sorloth explains his decision to shoot instead of passing to wide-open Erling Haaland on Norway's two-on-one against England in the World Cup quarter-final, a moment that allowed England to level and eventually win 2-1 after extra time; he says the pass option wasn’t there, and Haaland finished the tournament with seven goals while Sorloth had no goals or assists in five appearances.
Barcelona suffered a 5-3 defeat to Villarreal despite a comeback that saw them take the lead, with Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach scoring for Villarreal before Barcelona equalized with goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Pedri, and an own goal by Eric Bailly. However, late goals from Goncalo Guedes and a brace from Alexander Sorloth sealed the win for Villarreal. Barcelona's poor defensive performance and lackluster individual player ratings contributed to their defeat, leaving manager Xavi with plenty of work to do. Alexander Sorloth was named the player of the match for his performance.
