Norway claimed a historic 2-1 victory over Brazil in the World Cup round of 16 on July 5 in New Jersey, marking the first time Norway has reached the quarter-finals. Erling Haaland scored twice in the final minutes, turning the tide after a tightly contested match. Brazil, led by Carlo Ancelotti, struggled to convert opportunities and were denied a penalty in the first half before Haaland's late strikes sealed their fate. Neymar Junior scored a consolation penalty in stoppage time, but it was not enough for the five-time champions, who exit the tournament at this stage for the first time in 36 years. Norway will now face the winner of the Mexico vs. England match.
