Haaland delivered a match-winning performance, netting a brace to lead Norway past the five-time world champions and into the next round of the tournament. Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway sealed a stunning 2-1 upset over Brazil on Sunday to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
Brazil struggled to contain the prolific striker, who punished defensive lapses with two clinical finishes. Despite creating several chances, the South Americans were unable to mount a successful comeback.
The victory marks one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, with Norway eliminating one of football’s traditional powerhouses and keeping their World Cup dream alive.
Haaland’s outstanding display further underlined his status as one of the tournament’s standout performers, while Brazil’s early exit represents a major disappointment for the Seleção after entering the competition as one of the favourites.
