Norway beat Brazil 2-1 in the round of sixteen at the 2026 World Cup, played in New York, advancing to the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time in their history. Brazil, coached by Carlo Ancelotti, is eliminated.

The match was decided by a second-half brace from Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker scored the opening goal in the 79th minute and added a second in the 90th minute. In the first half, Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland had saved a penalty taken by Bruno Guimarães, keeping the score level at halftime. Brazil pulled one back through a Neymar penalty in the 97th minute, but it was not enough to change the outcome.

The result extends Brazil's negative record against Norway: the Seleção has never beaten the Scandinavian side, with two draws and two defeats in previous meetings before this match. According to some reports, the fixture also carries a historical connection to the 1994 World Cup, when Carlo Ancelotti was assistant coach to Arrigo Sacchi for Italy in a match against Norway in which Erling Haaland's father, Alf-Inge Haaland, was not involved; however this detail appears in only one of the sources consulted and has not been independently verified.

Norway now advances to the quarter-finals, while Brazil's World Cup campaign comes to an end.
