Erling Haaland scores twice as Norway eliminates Brazil in World Cup 2026 round of 16

On 5 July 2026, Norway upset Brazil 2‑1 in the round‑of‑16 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States. Erling Haaland was the decisive factor, netting two late goals – a header in the 79th minute and a long‑range strike in the 90th – both set up by teammate Andreas Schjelderup. Brazil pulled one back when Neymar converted a penalty in added time, but the comeback came too late.

Brazil had several chances, including a missed penalty by Bruno Guimarães after a VAR‑review, and early pressure that resulted in a disallowed goal for Norway. The victory sends Norway to its first ever World Cup quarter‑final, where it will meet the winner of the Mexico‑England match. Brazil’s early exit marks its earliest knockout defeat since 1990.

The match featured notable moments such as Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland’s multiple saves, and the historic performance of Haaland, who became the first Norwegian to score twice in a World Cup knockout game.
