Hexa dream delayed: Brazil knocked out by Haaland's Norway

Hexa dream delayed: Brazil knocked out by Haaland's Norway Brazil’s dream of a sixth world title has been postponed once again. The Brazilian national team was defeated by Norway this Sunday (5) in a Round of 16 clash at the World Cup. Erling Haaland once again showed his match-winning ability and scored both of Norway’s goals, both late in the second half. In stoppage time, Neymar cut the deficit with a penalty. Missed chances Brazil have plenty to regret about the chances they wasted throughout the match. The main one came right at the start, when Bruno Guimarães missed a penalty. In the second half, Endrick also had a great chance to open the scoring. The youngster had just come on and went one-on-one with the goalkeeper after being played through by Vini Jr., but his shot was saved by Nyland. Alisson tried, but... The European side dominated possession and pushed Brazil back into defense throughout the match. Alisson put in a strong performance for most of the game, making important saves whenever Norway threatened. He just couldn’t stop Haaland, who opened the scoring with a precise header in the 34th minute of the second half. Near stoppage time, the Manchester City striker doubled the lead with a low shot.
