FIFA World Cup Shock: Norway Stuns Brazil 2-1 to Reach Next Round

Norway pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the FIFA World Cup 2026, defeating five-time champions Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16 to secure a place in the quarter-finals.

Erling Haaland was the hero for Norway, scoring twice in the 79th and 90th minutes to put his side in complete control. Brazil managed a late consolation goal through Neymar, who converted a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time (90+10′), but it was not enough to prevent their elimination.

The victory sends Norway into the quarter-finals, while Brazil’s World Cup campaign comes to a disappointing end.
