Unstoppable Erling Haaland Fires Norway Into Their First-Ever World Cup Quarter-Final
Haaland moved to seven tournament goals as Norway held Brazil to four shots on target and advanced to their first World Cup quarter-final.
- On Tuesday, Norway reached their first-ever FIFA World Cup quarter-final, defeating five-time champions Brazil 2-1 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey as Erling Haaland scored twice inside the final 11 minutes.
- Despite creating chances worth 2.73 expected goals, Brazil managed only four shots on target from 14 attempts while controlling just 33.5% possession. Norway, by contrast, generated 0.84 xG but demonstrated ruthless efficiency whenever opportunities arrived.
- While Haaland grabbed the headlines, goalkeeper Nyland was equally instrumental in preserving Norway's advantage. Haaland broke Brazil's resistance with a 67th-minute header before sealing victory with a superb low strike in the 90th minute.
- Brazil's early elimination intensifies scrutiny surrounding Carlo Ancelotti's future after the team crashed out before the quarter-finals for the first time in 36 years. Haaland's two-goal haul moved him to seven tournament goals, tying Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé atop the Golden Boot standings.
- Norway will face England in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final on July 11 in Miami Gardens. Manager Ståle Solbakken's side now positions itself as a genuine contender after never previously reaching this tournament phase.
