Brazil Eliminated from 2026 World Cup by Norway 2-1

Brazil was knocked out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a 2-1 defeat to Norway in the Round of 16 on Sunday night in New Jersey. Norway's Patrick Berg opened the scoring just four minutes into the match.

Although Alexander Sørloth had a goal ruled offside, Erling Haaland scored twice, stunning the Brazilian team, which aimed to secure its sixth World Cup title. Neymar scored a consolation goal from the penalty spot during deep stoppage time in the second half after a penalty was awarded to Brazil following a VAR review of an incident involving Bruno Guimarães.

This loss marks a significant disappointment for Brazil, who were among the tournament favorites. Norway will advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face either England or co-host Mexico.
