FT: Haaland at the double as Norway eliminates Brazil

S

By Simon Smale

Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway sensationally knocked Brazil out of the World Cup.

It is the first time Brazil has not reached the quarterfinals of the tournament they have won a record five times since 1990.

90+12' Referee has a word with both teams

S

By Simon Smale

Interestingly, we're still playing.

Stunning.

The referee tells both teams to calm down.

Would be easier if he just blew for full time to be honest.

90+10' Brazil score!

S

By Simon Smale

In the 10th minute of the seven additional minutes.

Neymar smiles cutely as he scores, but there's no urgency from him to go and get the ball, he's far more eager to have a word with Nyland.

I'm sure Nyland will send him a postcard from Miami.

Really classless from a well-beaten team.

90+9' Penalty Brazil!

S

By Simon Smale

Leo Østigård has caught Casemiro with an elbow as he jumps up.

It's a penalty apparently?!

It's all a bit confusing out there but I believe it's a penalty.

Neymar is going to take it.

He is having a long conversation with Nyland as he sets the ball.

90+7' It's all getting a bit unsavoury out there

S

By Simon Smale

Brazil's players all flood in after a Norwegian challenge.

Vinícius Júnior, in particular, is pointing in the face of the assistant referee aggressively.

Some subs have got involved from Brazil too — there's no need for this.

90+5' Neymar is booked

S

By Simon Smale

Tika taka football from Norway and Neymar has had enough, kicking the superb Martin Ødegaard to the ground from behind.

Ødegaard celebrates wildly.

Neymar looks sullen.

HAALAND DOES IT AGAIN!

A

By Amanda Shalala

Oh my goodness, what a massive moment to see Haaland step up like that with the game on the line and close it out in such clinical fashion.

And he celebrates as if it's no big deal, meanwhile his teammates and supporters are absolutely losing it!!

This is huge for Norway, a side that hadn't featured in the World Cup since 1998 and now on the brink of the quarter-finals.

And the five-time champion Brazil will face a mighty reckoning from its football loving public.

90+3' Norway has deserved this

S

By Simon Smale

Brazil has been passive and largely impotent in the final third.

Norway have played their hearts out, rarely anything flashy, but always accurate.

Norway have been the better team and deserve their lead.

90+1' There will be 7 (seven) minutes of added time

S

By Simon Smale

Seven minutes for Brazil to conjure a miracle.

90' HAALAND HAS SEALED IT!

S

By Simon Smale

ERING HAALAND POWERS HOME FROM THE EDGE OF THE PENALTY AREA!

NORWAY ARE THROUGH! NORWAY ARE THROUGH TO THE QUARTERFINAL!

That is a stunning finish.

He takes a look, takes a touch, and then with a swing of his left boot he crushes the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Astonishing.

Absolutely astonishing.

88' Norway corner

S

By Simon Smale

Martin Ødegaard wins a corner and then revs the crowd up behind the goal.

The Norway fans have been celebrating wildly since the goal — so they don't need any further invitations to get up and about.

But they do so anyway.

Time is running out for Brazil.

85' CHANCE BRAZIL!

S

By Simon Smale

Casemiro flashes a cross across the face of goal for Neymar but he's smashed it far too hard and no Brazilian shirts can get to it.

85' CHANCE BRAZIL!

S

By Simon Smale

Oh my!

Nyland has to take extraordinary action to stop a ball from Ayer from going in!

It's a ludicrous backpass, and Nyland had to dive full stretch, got a finger on it and just flicked it onto the post.

Would have been some own goal, that.

83' Brazil has a corner or two

S

By Simon Smale

It's two, but both of them are well defended by Norway.

Brazilian fans rise as Neymar gets the ball inside the penalty area on the left side, using those fast feet to try and get an opening.

But he can't get a shot away and Norway clears.

Incredible from Haaland!

A

By Amanda Shalala

Haaland has been effectively contained for most of this game so far, always being met by two defenders and unable to get any quality shots away.

But he only needs the tiniest opening, it came, and the Norwegians amongst the 80,663 fans here are having the time of their lives!

80' GOAL NORWAY!

S

By Simon Smale

WHO ELSE IS IT GOING TO BE?

ERLING HAALAND BREAKS THE DEADLOCK WITH A SUPERB HEADER!

It's a lovely cross from Andreas Schjelderup, dancing his way down the sideline and delivering a perfect ball for Haaland to head.

Gabriel was there, waiting to clear the ball as it came to him.

But Haaland came from behind him and nipped ahead.

That's brilliant.

79' Sub Brazil

S

By Simon Smale

Bruno Guimarães is coming off.

Éderson comes on in his place.

It was Bruno's penalty miss in the first half that means this game is still 0-0.

75' CHANCE NORWAY!

S

By Simon Smale

On the counter, a really good move from the Norwegians results in Andreas Schjelderup having a shot at goal, but Alisson is strong at his near post and effects the save.
