EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., July 5 : Erling Haaland may have scored the goals but it was Norway's out-of-contract goalkeeper Orjan Nyland who laid the foundations for their side's stunning 2-1 over Brazil on Sunday, saving a penalty in a World Cup last-16 game he probably would have started on the bench if it was not for a FIFA decision over another player's eligibility. Bodo/Glimt keeper Nikita Haikin has been tearing it up between the sticks for the past couple of seasons and when he was granted a Norwegian passport this year, the writing looked to be on the wall for 35-year-old journeyman Nyland, whose contract with Spanish club Sevilla ran out after this past season. However, in May FIFA turned down Israeli-born Haikin's request to switch his international allegiance from Russia, where he played two games at Under-21 level, to Norway due to residency rule requirements, opening the door for Nyland's spectacular display.He saved an early penalty from Bruno Guimaraes, and from there he grew into the game, thwarting Vinicius Jr. and Emerick and preventing what would have been a spectacular own goal from Kristoffer Ajer, flinging himself backwards to touch the ball onto the far post and away to safety.
