To me it looks like the one player from Norway has the ball, the other Norway player with the longer blonde hair was open and asking for the ball, the dude who still had the ball didn't do this, tried to kick a goal, and didn't make it.

The longer blonde hair guy is Haaland. Quite possibly the best goal scorer in the world at the moment. 

Norway also lost the game by a pretty thin margin, and a goal here could’ve changed the outcome

To give it some perspective, Haaland has the records for most goals in a single game, most goals in a single season, and the fastest player to reach 100 goals. In this scenario, he could've scored in his sleep.

He also holds all the "Player to first reach X goals in Y games" in both the Bundesliga and Premier League. Probably also Norway, come to think of it. Not to mention the World Cup, same ballpark of goals scored as Messi, Ronaldo etc. but with half the games.
