Norway defeated Brazil 2-1 in the World Cup knockout match played in New York, advancing to the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time in their history. After a first half in which Brazil had a penalty saved by Norwegian goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who denied Bruno Guimaraes from the spot, the match was decided in the second half by Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker scored the opening goal in the 79th minute with a header and added a second around the 90th minute with a low finish. Brazil narrowed the gap in the 97th minute through a penalty converted by Neymar, but the result was no longer in doubt. The defeat extends Brazil's unfavorable historical record against Norway: in four meetings, the Selecao have never won, with two defeats and two draws under various coaches, including current manager Carlo Ancelotti.
