Brazil knocked out of the World Cup as Norway find two late goals

 


Erling Haaland scored two late goals to send Norway through to a first World Cup quarter-final with a stunning 2-1 win over Brazil that condemned the five-time champions to their earliest exit since 1990.

Norway goalkeeper Orlan Nyland produced a sensational display and saved a first-half penalty from Bruno Guimaraes before Haaland struck twice in the last 11 minutes to stun Brazil at MetLife Stadium.

Neymar pulled a goal back deep into stoppage time with Brazil's second spot-kick of the match.

Haaland's brace took him level with Lionel Messi on seven goals for the tournament as Norway booked a showdown against either co-hosts Mexico or England in Miami on July 11.

For Brazil, who hired Carlo Ancelotti in a bid to end a 24-year World Cup drought, it is the sixth straight tournament where they have been knocked out by European opposition.

The last time Brazil failed to reach at least the quarter-finals came 36 years ago, when they lost 1-0 to arch-rivals Argentina in last 16.

Gabriel Martinelli was rewarded for scoring the stoppage-time winner against Japan in the previous round, as the Arsenal winger replaced the injured Lucas Paqueta in the lone change to Brazil's line-up.

Norway were boosted by the return of Julian Ryerson, the Borussia Dortmund defender fit again after missing the past two games with a thigh injury.

Patrick Berg thought he had given Norway the lead inside three minutes, but his effort was ruled out for offside in the build-up.

After a rocky start, Brazil won a penalty when Kristoffer Ajer clattered into Matheus Cunha in the box.

The Brazilians were left furious as referee Ismail Elfath initially waved away their appeals, but VAR intervened and the decision was overturned.

Guimaraes stepped up, but Nyland guessed correctly, diving low to his left to push away the Newcastle midfielder's tame penalty.

Nyland again came to Norway's rescue, getting a crucial touch to Martinelli's low drive as it flashed across goal, denying Guimaraes a simple tap-in.

When Martin Odegaard lost possession on the edge of his own box, Nyland once more saved Norway as he stuck out a leg to thwart Vinicius Junior.

Haaland had struggled to make a significant impact, but his strength created a glorious opening for Norway before half-time.

The striker caused problems for Gabriel Magalhaes and Marquinhos in the Brazil defence before the ball broke kindly for Odegaard, whose effort was well saved by Alisson Becker.

Norway coach Stale Solbakken brought on Oscar Bobb and Andreas Schjelderup at the break for Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sorloth, but it was the introduction of Endrick that almost changed the game immediately.

Vinicius slipped Endrick through on goal with a delightful outside-of-the-foot pass, only for the teenager to dink wide as Nyland came out to close him down.

Nyland continued to frustrate Brazil, producing a good save to claw away Rayan's fierce strike before making another outstanding stop to deny Guimaraes, although the offside flag went up.

The arrival of Neymar in the 67th minute drew huge roars from the largely pro-Brazil crowd.

It was Norway who eventually broke the deadlock though, and it came through an inevtiable source.

Schjelderup whipped in a cross from the left and soared above Gabriel to power a header into the corner.

As Brazil desperately chased an equaliser, an incredible fingertip save from a backpedalling Nyland prevented Ajer from looping the ball into his own net.

Haaland gave Norway breathing space as he hammered low into the corner from the edge of the box in the 90th minute.

It proved vital when Neymar converted a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time, preceded by an unseemly spat with 'keeper Nyland, following an elbow on Casemiro.

See how the action unfolded below:


For Norway, this is without doubt their finest achievement so far as they move through to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in their history, and on the balance of the performance, they fully deserve it. While they have already delivered important wins to reach this stage, today’s display stands out as their most complete and mature showing of the tournament, combining defensive discipline with decisive moments in attack when it mattered most. With stars like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard leading from the front, this is a side nobody will want to face. Norway now march into the quarter-finals with real momentum and growing belief, where they will face the winner of Mexico vs England in what promises to be another major test. Given the level of their performance today, they will feel confident that they can compete with anyone left in the competition.
This surely was the final chance at World Cup glory for senior figures like Casemiro and Neymar, but it ends in heartbreak as Brazil are dumped out at the Round of 16 stage in dramatic fashion. Few would have predicted such an early exit for Ancelotti’s side, especially after the talent they carried going into the tournament, but they never truly found rhythm across the 90 minutes and were punished by a disciplined and clinical Norway side. The inquest will begin immediately, with questions over Brazil’s second-half approach, their lack of control without the ball, and missed opportunities in key moments that ultimately defined their fate.
Brazil threw everything forward in desperation, but Norway’s defensive shape held firm under pressure. Nyland dealt confidently with everything thrown at him. Even though Brazil were handed a lifeline deep into stoppage time when Ostigard was penalised for a foul on Casemiro and Neymar converted from the spot, it proved too late, as Norway managed the final moments with composure to secure a famous victory.
Norway’s patience eventually paid off as Schjelderup delivered a dangerous cross from the left for Haaland to power home a header into the bottom right corner and give them a crucial late advantage. Brazil attempted to respond immediately but struggled to find any real penetration against a disciplined Norwegian back line, and their attacks increasingly broke down on the edge of the box despite late pressure and changes. Schjelderup then played his part again in the closing stages, finding Haaland on the edge of the area, with the striker drilling a composed finish past Alisson and into the far bottom right corner to seemingly seal the result.
The second half began in a surprisingly cautious manner from Brazil, who dropped off and allowed Norway to dictate possession, which helped the Europeans grow in confidence and territory. Despite that, Brazil still created the clearest chance when Vinicius Junior slipped Endrick through inside the box, but the young forward fired wide of the left post under pressure from Nyland. Brazil remained dangerous in transition, but Nyland continued to stand firm whenever called upon. As the half developed, Brazil’s passive approach without the ball meant Norway were able to slow the tempo and control large periods in midfield, building belief as the game moved into its decisive phase.
The first half was played at a blistering tempo with Norway initially celebrating when Patrick Berg found the net, only for it to be ruled out due to Sorloth being offside in the build-up. Then Brazil were handed a penalty moments later after Ajer brought down Cunha inside the box, but Guimaraes saw his effort brilliantly saved by Nyland. The remainder of the half stayed chaotic and open, with both sides creating clear chances as Odegaard forced a sharp save from Alisson while Vinicius also tested Nyland, but neither defence ever fully settled into control.
NORWAY DUMP BRAZIL OUT OF THE WORLD CUP! An entertaining knockout clash ended with Norway advancing after a dramatic and chaotic contest from start to finish. The first half was played at a blistering pace, with Norway briefly celebrating a Patrick Berg goal only for it to be ruled out for offside against Sorloth. Brazil were handed a penalty moments later when Ajer fouled Cunha, but Guimaraes saw his spot-kick saved by Nyland. Chances kept coming at both ends, with Odegaard denied by Alisson and Vinicius also forcing a strong stop from Nyland. The second half saw Brazil oddly sit off and allow Norway to control possession and grow more confident. Though the best opening came Brazil's way when Endrick was slipped in by Vinicius, but fired wide. Then late on, Schjelderup provided two decisive moments, first crossing for Haaland to head home the opener before setting him up again for a low finish to seemingly seal it. Brazil only briefly responded through a stoppage-time Neymar penalty after Ostigard fouled Casemiro, but it proved too late for a comeback as Norway held on to advance.

SAVE! Haaland goes up against Gabriel and gets a touch on the ball as it drops for Odegaard. Odegaard quickly drives Norway forward and slips Schjelderup into the left side of the box.

65'

SAVE! Casemiro lobs it into the right side of the box where Rayan brings it down and lays it off for Guimaraes. Nyland rushes out quickly to close the angle and makes a good stop to parry the shot away. The offside flag then goes up against Rayan anyway, so it wouldn’t have counted.
62'
SAVE! Guimaraes delivers the corner from the left but Norway clear it away. Brazil keep the pressure on as Rayan picks it up on the edge of the box. He fires a low shot towards the left side of the goal but Nyland gets down to parry it away.

59'
BIG CHANCE WASTED! Vinicius Junior finds space on the left and slides a brilliant pass through to Endrick, who is clean through on goal. Nyland rushes out quickly and puts him under pressure, and Endrick rushes his finish. He fires it wide of the left post with the goal at his mercy. What a massive chance wasted by Brazil.
58'
Here’s a Brazil change. Endrick comes on for Cunha, as Ancelotti looks to add more bite in the final third. Brazil have been a bit passive in this second half and will be hoping Endrick brings that sharper edge in attack.

54'
Now Brazil move forward with real intent. Vinicius Junior gets past Ryerson and drives into the left side of the box, but Ajer reads it perfectly and blocks his path before he can get the pass away.
53'
Brazil very passive at the moment without the ball and are happy to let Norway keep possession. Norway just recycle it calmly in midfield, trying to find gaps but not rushing anything. Brazil staying compact and waiting for the right moment to press rather than chasing it. It’s a controlled spell, but not much urgency from either side right now.
51'
Bobb takes on three players on the right, but the second challenge is too strong and he loses it. Brazil don't really try to break forward.
50'
Odegaard, Ryerson, and Bobb work it down the right, but Brazil are really tight to them and there’s no space to break through. They end up being forced backwards and can only win a throw-in.
49'

48'

47'
Danilo finds Rayan on the right and Brazil look to push forward. Rayan tries to whip in a cross early, but Ajer is well positioned and blocks it away.
46'
We are back underway for the second half and Brazil get us started again. Norway make two changes at the break with Bobb and Schjelderup coming on for Sorloth and Nusa. Sorloth didn’t really get into the game much, but Nusa’s substitution is a bit of a surprise given how lively he looked at times in the first half.

It’s been one of those halves where the tempo never really drops, with both sides trading attacks and refusing to sit back for long. Norway’s control in spells has been impressive, especially through Odegaard pulling the strings, while Brazil always look dangerous whenever they get space to run into. There’s been a real sense that one moment could completely change the game, with chances at both ends keeping the pressure constant. The second half is set up perfectly for a big breakthrough.
Half-time and it remains goalless after a really entertaining first half. Norway have looked excellent on the ball and thought they had taken the lead early on through Patrick Berg, only for the offside flag to deny them. Brazil then had the biggest chance of the half when they were awarded a penalty after the VAR review on Ajer's tackle on Cunha, but Nyland produced a huge save to stop Guimaraes from the spot. Both sides have created dangerous moments since then in a very open game. Alisson made a brilliant stop to deny Odegaard after the loose ball fell kindly inside the box, while Brazil constantly looked dangerous on the break through Vinicius Junior, Martinelli and Rayan. It’s been a tactical battle mixed with plenty of attacking intent, and the second half feels like it could swing either way.
Half-Time: 0-0
45+6'
Berge finds Odegaard inside the right side of the box and Norway look threatening again. But Brazil quickly crowd him out before he can get the shot away. Odegaard loses possession under pressure and the danger passes.

45+3'
SAVE! Haaland chases down the long pass and loses the duel to Gabriel, but the loose ball falls kindly for Odegaard inside the left side of the box. Alisson rushes out quickly and makes a brilliant stop to deny him from close range. Huge save from the Brazil keeper there. From Norway’s point of view, though, that is a massive chance wasted.
45+2'
Odegaard swings the corner into the six-yard box and Sorloth attacks it looking for the touch. But Gabriel gets there first and heads it clear before the Norway attacker can connect.
45+1'

41'
SAVE! Vinicius Junior nicks it off Odegaard high up and Brazil are suddenly in again. Martinelli feeds it straight back to Vinicius inside the left side of the box. He shifts it past Heggem and goes for the near bottom left corner, but Nyland reacts well to make the save.
39'
Brazil build patiently and work the ball into a shooting position. Casemiro decides to try his luck from distance, stepping into a right-footed strike. But Heggem is well placed and gets in the way to block it comfortably.
38'
Really a good watch here, both sides just going at it whenever they win the ball. Norway keep possession in the final third now, just trying to probe for an opening. Brazil stay compact and patient, waiting for the right moment to spring out on the counter.
37'
CHANCE! Nusa cuts inside from the left and lifts a clever ball into the near side of the box. Haaland meets it on the volley and tries a delicate chip over Alisson, but he doesn’t get it right. The effort goes straight at Alisson, who gathers it comfortably. Norway had a real opening there, but it’s wasted.
35'
WIDE! Nusa tries to slide it into Odegaard inside the box, but he’s forced out wide to the right by the defence. Odegaard then manages to cut back inside from the edge of the box, looking for a shooting angle. He gets the shot away, but it flies wide into the right side netting.
34'
Rayan gets it back to Vinicius Junior inside the right side of the box. He tries to shift it onto his right foot, but Norway swarm around him quickly. There’s just no space for the shot and the attack breaks down.
33'
Brazil break quickly again and look dangerous in transition. Vinicius Junior tries to flick it past Heggem and sprint through on goal, but he can’t quite control it. The touch gets away from him, and the ball rolls over the right side for a goal kick, letting Norway off the hook.
32'
Berge finds Nusa on the left and he drives forward, drifting inside looking to cause problems. Nusa tries to carry it through the middle, but Guimaraes steps in well and wins it back for Brazil. Good defensive work to stop the attack before it develops further.
31'
Haaland chases down the ball and Marquinhos does really well to hold him off in the challenge. Alisson is quick off his line and comes out to clear the danger.
30'
CHANCE! Vinicius Junior gets onto the pass out on the left and quickly links up with Martinelli. Martinelli whips in a low cross and it looks perfect for a Bruno Guimaraes tap-in at the far post. Nyland reacts just in time, getting a foot to it and taking the ball away from danger. It skips just wide of the far post and Norway survive another huge scare.
Hydration break is here after a really lively opening quarter of the game. Norway had the ball in the net, but it was ruled out for offside, while Brazil also had a big chance from the penalty spot but couldn’t convert. It’s been end-to-end at times, with both sides showing flashes going forward. It's still level as they take a quick breather.
26'
Guimaraes loses it on the right and Norway are quick to try and break. Nusa picks it up and drives forward, looking to push the attack. But Brazil recover well to clear it out of play.
25'
Norway keep it slow in midfield, just knocking it around and refusing to take any risks. The referee looks ready to bring on the hydration break, but Norway keep the ball in play and don’t let it go out.
23'
Norway take the free kick short, but it gets a bit overcomplicated in midfield. Brazil are quick to step in and suddenly break forward through the middle. Cunha tries to drive into the right side of the box, looking dangerous, but Ajer comes across strongly to win the physical duel. Norway manage to clear the danger and reset after a nervy moment.
22'

17'
Norway slow things down in midfield, just trying to take the sting out of Brazil’s momentum. They keep it simple, moving the ball side to side. It’s a patient spell now, with the tempo clearly dropping as Norway look to regain control of the rhythm.
16'
WIDE! Rayan drives forward down the right with a really good bit of dribbling to get himself into space. He looks confident as he opens up for the shot from the edge of the box. But the effort goes just wide of the near right post.

Should be a penalty!
