Norway beats Brazil 2-1 as Haaland scores twice to reach quarter‑finals

Norway advanced to their first World Cup quarter‑final after a 2‑1 victory over Brazil in the 2026 tournament. Haaland headed the winner in the 80th minute from a pinpoint cross by Andreas Schjelderup and added a second strike late in regulation.

Neymar reduced the deficit with a stoppage‑time penalty, but it was not enough. The Norwegian’s seventh tournament goal tied him with Lionel Messi for the competition’s top scorer.
