Erling Haaland’s heroics propel Norway to stunning upset of Brazil as World Cup run reaches quarterfinals

The Norwegians were outnumbered — playing in a building filled with an ocean of yellow and puddles of red, playing against a nation home to more than 200 million more citizens, playing an opponent that has won a record five World Cups and had made eight consecutive quarterfinal appearances on the sport’s grandest stage. But Norway had the man who makes anything possible.   The Vikings will march on in their first World Cup appearance in 28 years after Erling Haaland’s 80th-minute header, and 90th-minute blast, delivered his homeland its greatest victory ever, sending the Norwegians to their first World Cup quarterfinal after pulling off a 2-1 upset of Brazil on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
