Coupe du monde 2026 : Haaland assomme le Brésil et envoie la Norvège en quart de finale
The first major upset of the 2026 World Cup came from Norway. Led by a decisive Erling Haaland and an exceptional Ørjan Nyland, the Scandinavians pulled off a stunning upset by eliminating Brazil (2-1) to qualify for the quarter-finals.
This is the first major upset of the 2026 World Cup. Norway has just eliminated Brazil, five-time world champions, with a score of 2-1.
However, Brazil, technically dominant, created the best chances. As early as the 12th minute, Matheus Cunha won a penalty after a foul by Kristoffer Ajer. But Bruno Guimarães, tasked with taking it, was denied by the excellent Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland.
Despite the missed penalty, Brazil continued to dominate the match. The Norwegian goalkeeper made a series of crucial saves, keeping his team in the game. In the second half, the Seleção maintained the same intensity and monopolized possession, but lacked a cutting edge against an inspired Ørjan Nyland, who made several exceptional interventions.
By wasting so many opportunities, Brazil left themselves vulnerable to Norwegian counter-attacks. And in the 79th minute, on a perfectly executed counter, Andreas Schjelderup delivered a precise cross to Erling Haaland, who outjumped Gabriel Magalhães to powerfully fire the ball into the back of the net.
Ten minutes later, the "Cyborg" definitively stunned Brazil by scoring a second goal with a left-footed strike (89th minute). Despite Neymar's penalty in stoppage time (90+7), Norway caused a major upset at the 2026 World Cup by eliminating Brazil and qualifying for the quarterfinals.
