Five-time world champions Brazil national football team have been knocked out of the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a stunning 2-1 defeat to Norway national football team in the Round of 16.
The Scandinavian side produced one of the tournament's biggest upsets, with star striker Erling Haaland scoring twice in the second half to overturn Brazil's lead and send Norway into the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
Brazil, one of the pre-tournament favourites and the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles, struggled to contain Haaland's physical presence and clinical finishing after the break. Norway's disciplined display ensured the South Americans' campaign came to a shocking end.
The historic victory marks a new milestone for Norway, who will now head into the quarter-finals full of confidence as they continue their dream run in the tournament, while Brazil are left to reflect on another painful World Cup exit.
