Norway's Erling Haaland delivered a stunning performance, scoring two late goals to propel his team to a 2-1 victory over Brazil in the World Cup last 16, marking Norway's first quarter-final appearance ever. The match took place at MetLife Stadium, where Brazil faced **its earliest World Cup exit since 1990**, leaving fans in disbelief according to Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Channel News Asia.

Brazil started the match with momentum, earning a penalty after Kristoffer Ajer fouled Matheus Cunha. However, goalkeeper Orlan Nyland saved the ensuing kick from Bruno Guimaraes, setting the tone for Norway's resilience. The situation took a dramatic turn late in the match when Haaland, supported by tactical substitutions from Norway coach Stale Solbakken, scored both of his goals in the final 11 minutes of play, bringing his tournament total to seven and matching Lionel Messi's count, as noted by Reuters and Al Jazeera.

In a remarkable show of skill, Haaland used his height advantage to score the opening goal by heading a cross from Andreas Schjelderup into the corner of the net. Shortly after, he struck again with a powerful shot from outside the box, securing Norway’s lead just before the end of regulation. Despite Neymar converting a late penalty for Brazil in stoppage time, it was not enough to alter the outcome, confirming Brazil’s struggles as they were eliminated from the tournament. This marked Brazil's sixth consecutive World Cup in which they have been eliminated by European teams, as highlighted by Channel News Asia and Al Jazeera.

Brazil's new coach Carlo Ancelotti aimed to end a 24-year World Cup drought, yet this result leaves Brazil with another disappointment, as their performance failed to meet fan expectations. The Brazilian side celebrated the entry of Neymar late into the match, hoping for a turnaround, but it ultimately ended in tears as the team faced the reality of an early exit, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.
