Brazil came to the FIFA World Cup 2026 dreaming of another title. Instead, they ran into football's biggest nightmare — Erling Haaland.
The Manchester City superstar produced another devastating masterclass, scoring twice in the closing minutes as Norway stunned Brazil 2-1 to book their place in the quarter-finals. Haaland struck in the 79th and 90th minutes in East Rutherford, New Jersey, taking his tournament tally to seven goals — level with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé in the race for the Golden Boot.
