The Brazil vs Norway match results today produced one of the biggest surprises of the FIFA World Cup 2026 as Norway defeated five-time champions Brazil 2-1 to book their place in the quarterfinals.
Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half, while goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland delivered a match-winning performance with an early penalty save.

Andreas Schjelderup changed the game after coming off the bench, providing assists on both Haaland goals and helping Norway secure a famous victory.

Bruno Guimarães stepped up two minutes later, but Nyland guessed correctly and produced an outstanding save to keep the score level.
The game transitioned into a tactical battle following a hydration break at the 25th minute. Vinícius Júnior tested Nyland with a powerful effort in the 40th minute, while Martin Ødegaard saw his shot blocked just before halftime as both teams went into the break locked at 0-0.
