Five-time world champions Brazil have been knocked out of the FIFA World Cup after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Norway, who secured a historic place in the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.

The Round of 16 clash remained tightly contested throughout the first half, with both teams failing to break the deadlock. Brazil and Norway continued to battle intensely after the restart, but neither side managed to find the net for much of the second half.

Norway finally broke the deadlock in the 79th minute when star striker Erling Haaland found the back of the net, putting his side ahead and piling pressure on Brazil.

As Brazil pushed forward in search of an equaliser, Haaland struck again in the closing moments of the match to seal a 2-0 victory and end the South American giants' World Cup campaign.

Despite seven minutes of added time, Brazil failed to mount a comeback, and the final whistle confirmed Norway's famous victory.

The defeat left Brazilian players visibly devastated, while thousands of Brazil supporters inside the stadium were left in tears. In contrast, Norway's players and fans celebrated a memorable triumph that secured the nation's first-ever place in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.

With the historic win, Norway advanced to the last eight for the first time, while Brazil's hopes of winning a sixth World Cup title came to an end.
