Watch.. Haaland dedicates the Brazilian knot and continues to break records, and Neymar enters history | sports

Norway dedicated its historical record to Brazil, as it remains the only team in the world that the Seleção has faced throughout its history without being able to achieve any victory over it. In tonight’s match, which was number 5 in the history of the two sides’ meetings, Norway strengthened its superiority with 3 victories, compared to two draws in the last two matches.

In terms of achievements, the Norwegian team succeeded in securing its place in the quarter-finals of a major international tournament (European Nations Cup/World Cup) for the first time in its history. On the other hand, the Brazilian national team experienced the bitterness of its fastest exit from the World Cup since the 1990 edition, when it exited the tournament in the round of 16 at the hands of Argentina, thus ending a historical series in which Brazil reached at least the quarter-finals in the last 8 consecutive editions.

Haaland dedicates the Brazil knot

At the individual level, the star of striker Erling Haaland shone, who became the first Norwegian player to score a brace in an elimination match in a major international tournament. Haaland also monopolized the only three cases in Norwegian history in which a player scored two or more goals in one match in a major tournament, and all of them came in the 2026 World Cup (two goals against Brazil, two goals against Senegal, and two goals against Iraq).

Haaland continued his extraordinary scoring streak by scoring in the last 14 consecutive competitive international matches with his country, scoring 26 goals during this series. Note that the last time he missed the net in a competitive match dates back to October 2024 against Austria in the European Nations League.

In the Brazilian camp, Neymar made history after becoming the second Brazilian player to score in four different versions of the World Cup (2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026), making him equal to the late legend Pele. On the other hand, Bruno Guimarães scored a negative record as the first Brazilian player to miss a penalty kick in a World Cup match (excluding penalty kicks) since Zico’s famous kick against France in the quarter-finals of the 1986 edition.

On the goal line, Norwegian goalkeeper Organ Nyland succeeded in saving a penalty kick during 4 matches he played in the World Cup, which is equal to his total number of saves throughout his career in the Spanish League, which amounted to only one kick out of 8 he faced during 59 matches.

As for young talents, promising striker Ryan became the third young player to start 3 or more matches as a starting player for Brazil in one World Cup, following in the footsteps of Pele (4 matches) and Altafini (3 matches), who achieved this number in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
