Erling Haaland Brace Sends Norway to World Cup Quarter-Finals
Norway secured a historic spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Brazil at the New York New Jersey Stadium on July 5, 2026. The match remained deadlocked for much of the contest, with Brazil missing a crucial penalty kick from Bruno Guimarães early in the first half.
The breakthrough came late in the second half when Erling Haaland struck in the 78th minute to give Norway the lead. The star striker doubled the advantage in the 90th minute, effectively sealing the result despite a late stoppage-time penalty conversion by Neymar for Brazil.
The victory marks a significant milestone for Norway, who now move on to face their next opponent in the final eight of the tournament.
