Haaland double lifts Norway past Brazil into maiden World Cup quarter-final
Two goals from Erling Haaland carried Norway to a 2-1 win over Brazil and into the World Cup quarter-finals — a stage the national side had never reached before.
Bruno Guimarães failed to convert a first-half penalty for the five-time champions, and although Neymar pulled one back from the spot late on, Brazil could not complete the turnaround.
In goal, Ørjan Nyland was Norway's standout performer, producing a series of important saves that included keeping out Vinícius Jr.
Brazil have been eliminated before the quarter-finals for the first time since 1990. Norway will next face either England or Mexico.
