7M - Haaland Brace Eliminates Brazil From 2026 World Cup

Brazil's historic struggle against Norway continued in dramatic fashion at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as the five-time world champions were knocked out in the Round of 16. A clinical double from star striker Erling Haaland secured the victory for a highly disciplined and competitive Norwegian team, sending them through to the quarter-finals.

The defeat revives a long-standing jinx for the Selecao, who have famously never defeated Norway in World Cup history. This latest upset mirrors the iconic 1998 World Cup group stage match in France, where Norway shocked Brazil with a 2-1 win. Nearly three decades later, the European side delivered another major blow to Brazils title aspirations, leaving the South American giants to exit the 2026 tournament in early disappointment.
