Illustration: AI-generated for editorial context. Not photographic evidence.
Erling Haaland scored twice to send Norway past Brazil and into the World Cup quarter-finals, in one of the biggest upsets of the tournament. The striker headed Norway in front late on and then added a low finish from outside the box, before Neymar pulled one back from a stoppage-time penalty that came too late for Brazil. It is the sixth tournament in a row that Brazil have gone out to European opposition.
