Norway's World Cup Win over Brazil Beyond My Dreams, Says Haaland
Haaland’s late brace sent Norway through and left Brazil out, while the striker moved level with Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi on seven goals.
- On Sunday, Norway reached its first-ever World Cup quarterfinal by stunning Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16. Striker Erling Haaland scored twice, with a 79th-minute header and a 90th-minute goal, eliminating the five-time champions.
- Norway manager Stale Solbakken told his team they had a "50-50 chance" before the match. The victory maintained Norway's unique undefeated record against the Selecao in World Cup history.
- Haaland’s double brought his tournament tally to 7 goals, tying him with France’s Kylian Mbappe and Argentina’s Lionel Messi for the lead. Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland made crucial saves, including a 14th-minute penalty denial against midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

- Host Mexico or England will face Norway in the quarterfinals, with the match scheduled for Miami Gardens, Florida. This historic victory marks a significant milestone as the team advances to the final eight.
