Norway’s Erling Haaland (9) celebrates with teammates after scoring in Sunday’s World Cup round-of-16 win over Brazil in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the U.S. The Manchester City superstar scored twice in the final 11 minutes to eliminate Brazil and send Norway to its first-ever FIFA World Cup quarterfinals while matching Norway’s all-time World Cup goal total (7) in this tournament alone. Before the 2026 tournament began, Norway had scored just seven goals in its entire FIFA World Cup history. The historic performance also moved Haaland into a tie for the Golden Boot lead with seven goals, alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.Xinhua
