Haaland Scores Twice as Norway Leads Brazil 2-0; Other News Includes Police Death, Actor's Passing

Norway secured a commanding 2-0 lead against Brazil in their Round of 16 match, largely thanks to a stellar performance from striker Erling Haaland. Haaland broke the deadlock in the 79th minute and quickly added a second goal just minutes later, putting his team in a strong position.

In a somber event, a moment of silence was held in Denmark in memory of a Swedish police officer who was tragically beaten to death in Copenhagen. The tribute took place at Islands Brygge, the location where the officer was attacked, before the VM match between Norway and Brazil. The moment of silence was broadcast on Danish television.

Sweden also mourned the loss of actor Weiron Holmberg, who passed away at his home at the age of 91. Holmberg was a familiar face in Swedish cinema, recognized for his roles in popular films such as "Sällskapsresan" and the "Göta kanal" series, as well as the Jönssonligan films. His daughter, Lena Holmberg, shared her grief, stating, "For everyone else, he was this actor, but for me, he was just dad."

For everyone else, he was this actor, but for me, he was just dad. We were close and had a very good relationship. I will miss him very much.
