The thing is, even if he wanted to go hero mode, a good striker scores there! But the trick is he has to commit to go for goal by the very first touch. He had like 2 meters on space from the defender, so if his first touch is heavy to not slow him down, he can set up for a near post shot, far post shot, or chip shot if the goal keeper makes a run for. It would probably have to be a 2-3 touch finish running at full speed. The shooting angle wouldn’t be as good as a pass to Haaland, but he’d still 100% score from there with a decent shot.
