Commentary
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.
