Norway advanced to the quarter‑finals of the World Cup after a 2–1 victory over Brazil in the round of 16. The match, played on Tuesday in Doha, saw the Scandinavian side overturn a 0–1 deficit with two late goals from striker Erling Haaland, who struck in the 79th and 90th minutes.
Haaland’s brace lifted Norway to a 2–1 win and brought his tournament tally to seven goals, placing him level with Argentina’s Lionel Messi and France’s Kylian Mbappé at the top of the competition’s scoring chart. Brazil’s elimination ends their campaign earlier than expected, while Norway’s triumph marks a historic progression in the tournament.
