Norway advance to the World Cup quarter-finals after Erling Haaland scores twice in the closing stages to beat Brazil 2-1 in the last 16 at New York/New Jersey Stadium. Multiple outlets describe the goals as late strikes, with Haaland’s second-half brace arriving within the final minutes and proving decisive. The result knocks Brazil out of the tournament, ending their progress at this stage despite their status as former record champions. Reporting consistently frames the match as an upset: Norway reach the quarter-finals for the first time in the World Cup, while Brazil fail to extend their run and are eliminated at the same point. Several sources also note key contributions beyond Haaland, including strong goalkeeping, with one outlet highlighting a penalty save, and others pointing to overall defensive resilience as Norway withstand pressure. Norway’s victory sets up a quarter-final against Mexico or England, depending on the outcome of the other match in the bracket. Haaland’s brace also pushes his tournament tally to seven goals, according to at least one report tracking the top-scorer race.
