Erling Haaland produced a sensational late double as Norway shocked five-time champions Brazil 2-1 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, booking a place in the quarter-finals for the first time in the nation's history.

Neymar's stoppage-time penalty reduced the deficit, but it came too late to prevent Brazil's exit.
