Haaland's Brace Eliminates Brazil from World Cup

In a stunning World Cup match, Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker, scored two goals to propel Norway past Brazil, eliminating the five-time champions from the tournament. Brazil initially had a chance to take the lead with a penalty awarded for a foul on Mattheus Cunha, but Bruno Guimarães' penalty was saved by Norway's goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, and Vinícius Jr.'s shot was also stopped.

The teams went into halftime level. Early in the second half, substitute Endrick missed a chance to score.

Haaland broke the deadlock in the 79th minute with a powerful header, followed by a low shot from outside the area in the 90th minute, bringing his tally to seven World Cup goals, equaling Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé. Neymar Jr. converted a penalty deep into stoppage time, providing a consolation goal for Brazil.

Norway's victory marked their first-ever appearance in a World Cup quarter-final.
