Erling Haaland scored two late goals to secure a historic 2-1 victory for Norway over Brazil, sending the five-time champions home in the round of 16. Norway’s goalkeeper, Orlan Nyland, was instrumental in the win, saving a first-half penalty taken by Bruno Guimaraes. Despite Neymar scoring a late penalty for Brazil, Haaland’s double propelled Norway to their first ever World Cup quarter-final. The result marks Brazil’s earliest exit from the tournament since 1990 and extends their streak of being eliminated by European teams. Haaland now ties Lionel Messi as the tournament’s leading scorer with seven goals. Norway will face either Mexico or England in Miami on July 11th, while Brazil faces questions about their future after another disappointing World Cup performance.
