Haaland stuns Brazil to get record

Norway produced a seismic upset in New Jersey, eliminating Brazil with a 2-1 victory powered by Erling Haaland’s icy brilliance. Ståle Solbakken’s side started boldly, surviving an early scare when Bruno Guimarães saw his penalty saved by the inspired Orjan Nyland, who repeatedly frustrated Brazil’s forwards. Carlo Ancelotti’s team pushed hard, with Vinícius Júnior and Gabriel Martinelli threatening, yet Norway grew in confidence as substitutes Andreas Schjelderup and Alexander Sørloth shifted momentum.

The breakthrough arrived on 79 minutes, Haaland rising at the far post to head home Schjelderup’s cross. Moments later, he struck again, this time with a composed left‑footed finish past Alisson, to silence the five‑time champions. Neymar converted a late penalty, but Norway’s resilience held firm. Unbeaten against Brazil in five meetings, Solbakken’s men now advance to face England, while Brazil confront another painful European downfall.
