Haaland Saves Norway in World Cup Upset | Denver News

Norway stunned the world by defeating Brazil 2-1 in a breathtaking World Cup upset, sending the nation to its first-ever quarterfinals. Erling Haaland, quiet for most of the match, erupted with two late goals — set up by Andreas Schjelderup — tying him with legends like Messi and Mbappé as the tournament’s top scorer and extending his international goal streak to 14 games. Goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland was a rock, saving a penalty early and another late to seal the win. Brazil’s lone goal came in stoppage time, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Norway’s historic triumph. The match, played before a roaring crowd and even celebrities, marked a defining moment for Norwegian football — while Brazil’s five-time championship legacy crumbled under the weight of expectations. Norway now eyes a quarterfinal showdown against the winner of Mexico vs. England.
