Erling Haaland Fires Norway Past Brazil into FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter-finals
Norway created history by defeating five-time champions Brazil 2-1 to reach the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals for the first time.
Erling Haaland starred with a brilliant brace, taking his tally to seven goals in the 2026 tournament and moving level with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race. Goalkeeper Orjan Håskjold Nyland also played a decisive role by saving an early Brazilian penalty to keep Norway in control. Neymar scored a stoppage-time penalty for Brazil, but it proved only a consolation as the South American giants suffered their earliest World Cup exit since 1990.
Norway will now look to continue their dream run.
