Brazil vs Norway Highlights: Haaland Stuns Brazil As Norway Reach Historic World Cup Quarter-Finals
Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway stunned five-time champions Brazil 2-1 to reach the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals for the first time and extend their unbeaten record against the Seleo.
Norway produced one of the biggest shocks of the FIFA World Cup 2026 by defeating five-time champions Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16 to book a first-ever place in the quarter-finals. Erling Haaland scored twice, while goalkeeper Orjan Nyland delivered a standout performance, including a first-half penalty save to end Brazil's hopes of a record-extending sixth world title.
Brazil had an early chance to take control after Matheus Cunha was brought down in the penalty area. Following a VAR review, Bruno Guimaraes stepped up from the spot, but Nyland guessed correctly to produce a superb save. Norway also threatened before the break, having an early Patrick Berg goal ruled out for offside, while Martin Odegaard forced Alisson into a smart save late in the first half.
Stale Solbakken's half-time substitutions proved decisive. Andreas Schjelderup, introduced after the interval, transformed the contest and provided the cross for Haaland to power home the opening goal in the 80th minute. Endrick had earlier squandered a golden one-on-one chance for Brazil, while Neymar's introduction failed to change the momentum.
Haaland sealed the result in the 90th minute with a clinical strike from outside the box after being picked out by Schjelderup. Neymar converted a stoppage-time penalty after Leo Ostigard fouled Casemiro, but the goal came too late to spark a comeback.
The victory sends Norway into the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in the nation's history and extends their remarkable unbeaten record against Brazil to five senior international meetings, with three wins and two draws. Haaland's brace also takes his tally to seven goals at the tournament, drawing him level with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race.
