Highlighting moments of the match between Brazil versus Norway
A major heartbreak for Brazil and its fans as the team is knocked out of the FIFA World Cup 2026, as Erling Haaland slammed two impressive goals to lead Norway to register a 2-1 victory in the Round of 16 match in the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament.
There were no goals in the first half, but Haaland opened the scoring in the 80th minute with a bullet header and he doubled Norway’s advantage in the 90th minute by scoring a sensational goal from outside the box.
Brazil was not able to score but Neymar scored a consolation penalty in injury time and that is the only goal that Brazil scored in the game. It is worth mentioning that Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes missed a penalty in the 14th minute, while substitute Endrick missed a golden chance after a brilliant pass by Vinicius Jr. If those opportunities had been utilised, then this would not have been the result.
That said, Norway had a thrilling start by scoring a goal in the third minute of the match but it was disallowed due to offside. Norway is reaching the quarter final of the FIFA World Cup for the very first time. At the same time, Brazil has been knocked out in the Round of 16 stage for the first time since 1990, and their streak of never beating Norway in international football continues.
