Brazil 1-2 Norway: Haaland's Late Brace & Match Highlights | World Cup 2026

Brazil suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Norway in the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. Norway reached the quarter-finals for the first time in their history, replicating the 2-1 scoreline from their group stage meeting at France 1998. The first half saw Bruno Guimaraes miss a crucial penalty in the 14th minute after Kristoffer Ajer's foul on Matheus Cunha, with Orjan Nyland saving the spot-kick. Norway held firm defensively until the 79th minute when Erling Haaland rose above Gabriel Magalhaes to head in Andreas Schjelderup's pinpoint cross. Haaland completed his brace in the 90th minute, drilling a low shot through Danilo Santos's legs and past Alisson after another assist from Schjelderup. Neymar, who came on in the 67th minute, converted a stoppage-time penalty in the 90+10th minute after Leo Ostigard's foul on Casemiro, but it was too late for Brazil. Brazil recorded 14 shots with 33.5% possession, while Norway had 66.5% possession but created fewer chances. Neymar, playing his final World Cup match, received a yellow card after a post-goal altercation with Nyland.
