Haaland double sends Brazil out of the World Cup

Brazil knocked out by Haaland and Norway

It is over. Brazil 1–2 Norway in the round of 16 on Sunday, and you are out of the World Cup (2) (3) (5). Erling Haaland scored both Norwegian goals, the first coming after Brazil stood still for five minutes and let Norway take control (3). Neymar pulled one back from the penalty spot late, but it was not enough (5). Norway reach their first ever World Cup quarter-final (4).

A missed penalty you will be talking about all week

Bruno Guimaraes took a penalty in the first half and missed it (6) (8). Vinícius Jr gave him the ball and faced questions immediately after. "Bruno shoots better than me," Vinícius said (6). He went further in another interview: "A lot of people are going to say I didn't want to take it..." but insisted there was no fear, only trust in a teammate (8).

Longest trophy drought in Brazil's history

Brazil will go into the 2030 World Cup without a title for 28 years. That is the longest wait since the first trophy came in 1958 (7). Norway, meanwhile, enter the FIFA top 20 for the first time in 15 years after beating you (11).

Ancelotti, Neymar, and a generation that couldn't

Carlo Ancelotti watched from the sideline as his team collapsed in a five-minute spell that decided the tie (3). Alisson, Marquinhos, Vini Jr., Casemiro, Danilo, and Douglas Santos all started, and none of them could stop Haaland when it mattered (3). Ødegaard ran the midfield for Norway (3). Goalkeeper Nyland delivered a standout performance at the other end to keep Brazil at one goal (10).

Fan reactions

The mood is devastation. Casemiro's post-match words hit hard: "We did our best, but we lost our dream... we disappointed all Brazilians. We will always be the generation that didn't win the World Cup" link. Fans are also sharing a clip of Neymar bumping into Martin Ødegaard during the match, a small moment that captures how the night went link.
