World Cup 2026: Brazil vs Norway All Goals - Brazil Eliminated

Brazil's quest for a sixth World Cup title ended abruptly as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Norway in the round of 16. The loss, which occurred on Sunday, signifies Brazil's poorest World Cup showing since 1990, when they also exited at the same stage. Erling Haaland proved decisive for Norway, scoring a header in the 79th minute and a powerful left-footed strike in the 90th minute.

Goodbye to the dream of the sixth world title: Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil succumbed 2-1 this Sunday to the power of Erling Haaland's Norway and was eliminated in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.

Despite a late penalty converted by Neymar in the 90+10th minute, Brazil could not salvage the match. The defeat means the Seleção, playing what was likely Neymar's final World Cup, failed to advance to the quarter-finals. The match took place at the MetLife Stadium, where the Brazilian team ultimately fell short against the Norwegian side led by Haaland.

The Nordic android, with a deadly header and a demonic left-footer (79' and 90'), signed the worst World Cup participation for the Canarinha since Italy 1990, when they also fell in the round of 16.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti had previously expressed concerns about the team's ability to apply pressure without significant risk, suggesting a tactical caution that may have contributed to their downfall. The early exit will undoubtedly spark further debate about the team's strategy and player selection in major tournaments.

Neymar (90+10'), from the penalty spot, scored for a Seleção that ended up exhausted on the grass of the MetLife Stadium.
