Norvegia suddenly eliminated Brazil from the 2026 World Cup
The match in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup between Brazil and Norvegia was dramatic, with the final result being 2-1 in favor of the Nordic team. Norvegia had an excellent performance, especially thanks to the talents of Erling Haaland, who scored both goals for the home team.From the beginning of the match, Brazil entered the game strongly and had a chance to open the score when VAR determined a penalty situation for them in the 13th minute. Matheus Cunha was fouled in the penalty area by Ajer, and Bruno Guimarães stepped up to take the penalty. However, his kick was brilliantly saved by Norvegia goalkeeper Nyland just two minutes after the penalty was called. This is an important turning point, when Brazil cannot take advantage of this valuable opportunity.
Norvegia, despite being forced on the field, showed its bravery. They created a number of opportunities, and Haaland had two dangerous situations in the 36th and 67th minutes but were unsuccessful. In the 81st minute, Schjelderup attacked on the left wing, making a perfect pass for Haaland to head in to open the score 1-0 for Norvegia.
Brazil had nothing to lose, they attacked strongly and created many corner situations. However, Norvegia's defense stood firm. In the 90th minute, Haaland shined again when he scored the home team's second goal with an unstoppable long-range shot, increasing the score to 2-0. During extra time, Neymar shortened the score to 2-1 with a penalty, but it was only an honorable goal for Brazil.
With this victory, Norvegia has successfully won a ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup and will face the winner of the match between Mexico and England. This is a historic achievement for this team, while Brazil faced a painful defeat, causing coach Carlo Ancelotti and his players to leave the game early.
