Erling Haaland propelled Norway to a stunning upset of five‑time champions Brazil in the 2026 World Cup.
He opened the scoring with a late header, and later sealed the victory with a low‑driven shot past Alisson from outside the penalty area.
The brace moved Haaland to seven World Cup goals, tying him with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé in the Golden Boot race.
Earlier, Bruno Guimarães had a first‑half penalty saved by the superb Orjan Nyland, but Nyland could not stop Neymar’s stoppage‑time spot‑kick conversion.
This marks Brazil’s earliest World Cup exit since 1990, while Norway embark on their deepest ever tournament, advancing to a semifinal clash with either Mexico or England.
