Rome, 6 July (LaPresse) – Norway have qualified for the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time, beating Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil 2–1. Erling Haaland’s second-half brace proved decisive, scoring in the 79th minute with a powerful header and in the 90th minute with a precise low shot. The Selecao had missed a penalty in the 14th minute of the first half, with Bruno Guimaraes seeing his effort saved by Nyland. Neymar, who came on at half-time, scored a penalty in the 97th minute, but it proved to be in vain. Brazil had not been knocked out in the round of 16 at a World Cup since Italy ’90, when they were defeated by Argentina. In the four previous meetings between the two sides, Brazil had never beaten the Scandinavian side.
