Erling Haaland scored twice, including the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute, to lead Norway to a 2-1 upset victory over Brazil in the World Cup round of 16.

Haaland's two goals secured Norway's first-ever men's World Cup quarterfinal appearance, a historic achievement for the nation. The striker now shares the Golden Boot lead with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

Goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland made several key saves, including a crucial stop to Bruno Guimarães' penalty, though Neymar scored late to reduce the margin. Norway faces the winner of Mexico-England on Saturday. librea.one
