Brazil v Norway
Play By Play
Norway write a new page in history, reaching their first-ever World Cup quarter-final by beating Brazil. Replicating the 2-1 scoreline when the pair met at France '98, the Nordic nation come out on top in New Jersey and dump the Selecao out. Inevitably, Haaland played a huge part in perhaps his country's greatest football achievement, clinically scoring twice in the second half to reach seven goals at his first World Cup. Nyland also pulled off a series of saves, with none more crucial than his stop from a tame Bruno Guimaraes penalty early in the first half; finally beaten by Neymar, who belatedly converted from the spot on what might be his final international appearance, Norway's goalkeeper nonetheless put in a heroic display. It wasn't a classic contest, as the Norwegians only produced 0.84 xG despite dominating the ball, while Brazil's misleading xG of 2.73 came largely from their pair of penalties. Ancelotti's side bow out in meek fashion, and the inquest will immediately begin; meanwhile, Solbakken's squad are set to meet either Mexico or England in the last eight. That's all from New Jersey, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
FULL-TIME: BRAZIL 1-2 NORWAY
GOAL!!! After a stuttering run-up, Neymar side-foots his penalty into the right side of the net, leaving Nyland stranded. Finally, Norway's goalkeeper is beaten, but it must be too late for Brazil to save themselves!
PENALTY FOR BRAZIL! Norway sub Ostigard catches Casemiro with his elbow in an aerial challenge, and the referee points straight to the spot! Surely this is too late for Brazil to start a fightback?
Neymar's loss of composure seems to trigger a similar outpouring of anger from his team-mates, as a flare-up takes place in the middle of the pitch. Eventually, the referee restores order, as Norway inch closer to an historic victory.
Summing up what must be his final World Cup, Neymar frustratedly hacks down Odegaard and receives this game's first yellow card.
Norway shore up their defence by replacing Moller Wolfe with another centre-back, Ostigard.
Belatedly, Brazil are applying some pressure - albeit without producing a genuine chance. It's been a dismal performance by the five-time champions, who are a pale shadow of former World Cup sides.
There are seven minutes of stoppage time for Brazil to turn this around, but surely Norway have already done enough to go through. Haaland now has seven goals at this World Cup, putting him level with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in an epic Golden Boot race.
Schjelderup sets up his second goal since arriving from the bench, stepping inside from the left touchline and playing an accurate pass to sharp-shooter Haaland.
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! NORWAY ARE BOUND FOR THE WORLD CUP QUARTER-FINALS! Brazil are heading home, as Haaland hits his second goal of the game! Teed up by Schjelderup again, the superstar striker takes one touch to set himself before drilling a low strike into the bottom-right corner! It's now 2-0 to Norway in New Jersey - cue another Viking row!
Play resumes after a brief delay for Nyland to receive treatment, as he banged his shoulder while completing the latest in a long series of saves. Along with Haaland, he'll be a hero of this potentially groundbreaking win.
NYLAND AGAIN! What a save by the brilliant Norway goalkeeper, who keeps his country in front! When Ajer blocks Endrick's attempt, the ball loops up high towards the top-right corner, only for Nyland to back-pedal and make a magnificent stop!
Having raced away on the counter, Norway have a half-chance to kill this tie off, but they opt to quell a quick counter and play keep-ball instead.
From the left, Neymar drives over a flat corner towards the near post, but Ajer reads it well and heads the ball behind. Neymar's second delivery is then nodded clear of immediate danger by Aursnes.
With his sixth strike at this tournament, Haaland becomes just the eighth European player to score in each of his first four World Cup appearances - and the first since Christian Vieiri for Italy in 1998. Could that be the finish that sends Brazil back home?
After slipping past a weak challenge on the left, Schjelderup lofts a right-footed cross straight towards the waiting head of Haaland.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! NORWAY LEAD 1-0! It's Haaland, of course! Scoring in his 14th straight competitive international, Norway's talisman leaps up above his old foe Gabriel and powers an unstoppable header past Alisson! It was a superb cross from the left by Schjelderup, and Haaland did the rest!
Still reflecting on his missed penalty before the break, Bruno Guimaraes now makes way. Ederson Silva will replace him in Brazil's midfield.
Punctuated by the odd opportunity for either team, this game is still being played quite cautiously in humid conditions. There's little to suggest that we're not heading for extra-time.
SAVE! Alisson keeps the scores level! After Schjelderup is fed by Haaland and sneaks into the left side of the area, he fires low and hard towards the left side of the net, but Brazil's goalkeeper stands ready to save it!
Both Danilo and Casemiro see tame crosses from the right wing blocked, as Brazil attempt to apply some pressure to the Norwegian area. In truth, neither side has offered much threat since half-time.
Yet to have an impact on this match, Neymar is making his seventh World Cup knockout appearance; he's been involved in five goals across the previous six (three goals, two assists).
As play resumes, Brazil now have a 34% chance of victory within 90 minutes, compared to just 13% for Norway - that's according to Opta's live win predictor. Can one moment of magic - or madness - finally break the deadlock and decide this last-16 tie?
There's also a switch elsewhere, as Danilo Santos takes over from Rayan.
