Norway will face Brazil in the World Cup after Brazil beat Japan 2-1. It can be a dream repeat of the mythical 1998 evening between Norway and Brazil.
What happened?
Brazil has done its part, even though a brave Japan was about to beat the World Cup kings back to football prehistory. The man with the surname Martinelli ensured a 2-1 win for Brazil in the 16th final of the World Cup in Houston.
What does it mean for Norway?
Norway is the only team Brazil has met, but never beaten. Norway has two wins in 1997 and 1998, as well as two draws in 1988 and 2006. The win over Brazil in the World Cup in 1998 is still considered the greatest moment in Norwegian football history.
