Norway secured one of the biggest results in their football history after defeating Brazil 2-1 to book a place in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was the hero of the match, scoring both goals in the closing stages to send the Norwegian side through.Brazil started the game strongly and controlled much of the possession, creating several clear opportunities.

Their best first-half chance came in the 14th minute when Bruno Guimarães took a penalty after a VAR review, but Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland made an excellent save to keep the score level.

Vinícius Júnior, Gabriel Martinelli and Rayan also threatened before the break, while Martin Ødegaard and Haaland tested Brazil goalkeeper Alisson at the other end.Norway improved after half-time, with substitute Andreas Schjelderup making an immediate impact in attack.His cross in the 79th minute found Haaland, who headed past Alisson to give Norway the lead.

As Brazil pushed forward in search of an equaliser, Schjelderup provided another decisive assist in the 90th minute, setting up Haaland to calmly score his second goal of the night.Deep into stoppage time, Brazil were awarded another penalty after Neymar was fouled in the box.Neymar converted from the spot in the 100th minute to reduce the deficit to 2-1, but there was not enough time left to complete a comeback.

Nyland's penalty save, Schjelderup's two assists and Haaland's clinical finishing proved decisive as Norway eliminated Brazil and advanced to the quarter-finals.
