Norway Stuns Brazil 2-1, Advances to World Cup Quarters

In a stunning upset, Norway eliminated Brazil from the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 2-1 victory at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. This marks Brazil's earliest exit from the tournament since 1990.

Erling Haaland, playing for Norway, scored two late goals within the last 11 minutes of the match. Brazil's Bruno Guimarães missed a penalty saved by Norway's goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who also made several crucial saves throughout the game.

Neymar managed to score a penalty in stoppage time, but it was insufficient to change the outcome. Norway's coach, Ståle Solbakken, made strategic substitutions that contributed to the team's success.

Brazil's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, faced disappointment as this loss ended Brazil's quest for a sixth World Cup title. In another match, England defeated Mexico 3-2, advancing to the quarterfinals.
