Erling Haaland scored two late goals to send Norway through to a first World Cup quarter-final with a stunning 2-1 win over Brazil that condemned the five-time champions to their earliest exit since 1990. Norway goalkeeper Orlan Nyland produced a sensational display and saved a first-half penalty from Bruno Guimaraes before Haaland struck twice in the last 11 minutes to stun Brazil at MetLife Stadium. And it was Haaland's second goal, in the 90th minute, that sealed the win for Norway, leaving Brazil devastated.

Haaland, 21, is known for his blistering pace and clinical finishing, and his performances so far in the tournament have cemented his reputation as one of the world's top strikers. He is the son of Alf-Inge 'Alfie' Haaland, a Norwegian footballer who had a successful career with Leeds United and Manchester City in England. But it's Erling who has taken the football world by storm, and his goals against Brazil were no exception.

Norway's victory was made all the sweeter by the fact that they have never before reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup. And their win will send shockwaves around the football world, where Brazil were expected to make it to the final. Meanwhile, Brazil's loss has sent their fans into a tailspin, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment.

The match was a tense and closely contested one, with both teams creating scoring chances throughout. Brazil dominated possession in the first half, but Norway's goalkeeper Orlan Nyland was exceptional, making several crucial saves to keep his team in the game. In the second half, Norway came out fighting, and it was only a matter of time before they found the net. Haaland's first goal came in the 79th minute, with a stunning individual effort that left Brazil's defenders grasping at thin air.

Brazil coach Tite was visibly upset after the match, and will face the media later today to discuss his team's shocking exit.

With their win, Norway will now move on to the quarterfinals, where they will face either France or Poland. And after their stunning victory over Brazil, many are tipping them to go all the way in the tournament.
