Live coverage and text updates are being provided as Brazil faces Norway in the round of 16 knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026, according to Al Jazeera.

Norway defeated Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, eliminating the five-time champions. Erling Haaland scored both goals for Norway in the match held in East Rutherford. Norway will advance to face the winner of the match between Mexico and England in the quarter-finals scheduled for July 11, 2026, in Miami Gardens.

In the World Cup round of 16 match on July 5, 2026, Brazil faced Norway in East Rutherford, N.J., where Bruno Guimarães missed a crucial penalty kick after being handed the opportunity by Vinícius Júnior. Despite Neymar successfully converting Brazil's second penalty, the team ultimately suffered its earliest World Cup exit since 1990, leading to second-guessing over the penalty decision.

Ståle Solbakken, the current coach of Norway, reflects on the team's historic upset against Brazil during the 1998 World Cup, where Norway won 2-1 with a penalty kick scored by Kjetil Rekdal. As Brazil prepares to face Norway again in the World Cup, they remain the favorites, although an upset is acknowledged as unlikely to match the significance of the 1998 victory.

Erling Haaland scored two goals as Norway achieved a surprising 2-1 victory over Brazil, advancing to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. This match took place on Sunday, marking a significant upset in the tournament.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti has selected Gabriel Martinelli to start in place of the injured Lucas Paquetá for the World Cup round of 16 match against Norway in East Rutherford, N.J. Martinelli previously scored a crucial goal against Japan in the round of 32 after coming on as a substitute. The match is set to take place on July 5, 2026.
