Norway Stuns Brazil 2-1 to Reach World Cup Quarter-Finals

Norway achieved a stunning 2-1 victory over Brazil at MetLife Stadium, securing their first-ever World Cup quarter-final berth. Erling Haaland scored both goals for Norway, with the first coming in the 79th minute and the second in the 90th minute.
Norway's goalkeeper, Orjan Nyland, played a pivotal role by saving a penalty from Bruno Guimarães in the first half. Brazil, who were chasing their sixth World Cup title, had previously eliminated European teams in the last 24 years but faced an unexpected exit this time.
Neymar managed to score a goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time, but it was not enough to change the outcome. Norway's coach, Ståle Solbakken, made strategic substitutions that contributed to the team's success.
Brazil's early exit marks their earliest departure from the tournament since 1990, when they lost to Argentina in the last 16.
