Haaland’s Heroics Propel Norway Into World Cup Quarterfinals

Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway beat Brazil 2-0 in the Round of 16, earning a quarterfinal berth and praise from Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Erling Haaland’s two goals in a 2-0 win over Brazil powered Norway into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 1998. The Norwegian striker extended his perfect goal‑per‑game streak and drew a comparison from Zlatan Ibrahimović, who likened the team to Sweden’s 1994 squad and called the performance a “lion’s feast.”

Haaland’s seven goals in the tournament have made him a breakout star, keeping him in the hunt for the Golden Boot alongside Messi and Mbappé. Norway now awaits the winner of the Mexico‑England match in the next round. newsbetting.club
