FULL TIME: Haaland's stunning double breaks Brazilian hearts as Norway reach first-ever World Cup quarter-final
Norway have pulled off one of the great World Cup upsets. The first half produced few clear chances despite Norway dominating possession. Nyland was excellent throughout, denying Bruno Guimarães with a fine penalty save while Alisson also had to be alert at the other end.
Brazil looked the more dangerous side going forward, but Norway were resolute, organised, and dangerous on the break.
Then Haaland happened. The Manchester City striker had been kept quiet all game, but substitute Andreas Schjelderup blazed past Endrick to deliver a teasing cross in the 79th minute, and Haaland attacked it with ferocity, powering a thunderous header past Alisson to break the deadlock.
He then iced the game completely in the 90th minute with a powerful low drive into the bottom-right corner, his seventh goal of the tournament.
Watch the goals here
Neymar pulled one back from the spot deep in injury time after Leo Østigard’s careless elbow on Casemiro, but it was nothing more than a consolation.
It is the sixth consecutive World Cup in which Brazil have been eliminated by a European nation and Neymar, 34, may well have just played his last game on the biggest stage.
Norway, meanwhile, march into the quarter-finals and will face either England or Mexico in Miami.
This is their greatest ever result, and Haaland’s tournament is only getting started.
Norway make history as Brazil are knocked out
