Norway starred in one of the most surprising eliminations from the 2026 World Cup. The Scandinavians defeated Brazil 2-1 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey thanks to a double from Erling Haaland in the last minutes of the match that sentenced a Canarinha that had had two penalties in the match, missed the first and converted the second but could not avoid defeat.
Goalkeeper Nyland was another of the great protagonists with several decisive saves that kept the score at zero until Haaland took control of the game in the final minutes.
Brazil had two penalties during the match, but Bruno Guimarães missed the first in the 14th minute after a great save by Nyland. The Norwegian goalkeeper was once again key in the second half with decisive interventions against Vinícius and Rayan.
Haaland changed the game in the 79th minute with a precise header and then made it 2-0 in the 90th with a cross definition. Neymar scored a penalty for Brazil, but the reaction was not enough to force extra time.
With this victory, Norway advances to the quarterfinals and achieves one of the most important results in its history. Brazil says goodbye in a painful elimination, while Haaland equals Messi and Mbappé in the scoring table with seven goals.
