Norway has written football history with a sensational win over Brazil in the World Cup. Haaland scored two goals in the last ten minutes of the game, after Nyland had saved a penalty. Neymar created new excitement with a penalty goal in extra time, but Norway held on until almost 12 minutes of extra time were over.

What happened in the game?

Norway had a tough game against Brazil, but Haaland and Nyland were completely decisive for the win. Haaland timed his run perfectly and scored the 1-0 goal after a great pass from Andreas Schjelderup. Brazil desperately sought equalization, but Nyland saved a penalty and several other dangerous shots.

Why is this important for Norway?

The win over Brazil is a historic day for Norway and means that the team is moving on to the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

What's next?

Norway will face Portugal in the quarterfinals on Saturday. This will be a tough game, but Norway has shown that they can play against the best teams in the world. With Haaland and Nyland in top form, Norway is a challenger to move on to the semifinals.
