Manchester City striker Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway sealed a stunning 2-1 upset over Brazil on Sunday to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
Haaland headed Norway into the lead on 79 minutes and then crashed in a second in the 90th minute at MetLife Stadium to bury Brazil’s hopes of a sixth World Cup crown.
Norway goalkeeper Orlan Nyland produced a sensational display and saved a first-half penalty from Bruno Guimaraes before Haaland struck twice in the last 11 minutes to stun Brazil at MetLife Stadium.
Neymar pulled a goal back deep into stoppage time with Brazil’s second spot-kick of the match.
