00:03Brazil's World Cup campaign came to a stunning end on Sunday after a 2-1 defeat to Norway in
00:09the round of 16. It was a night of jubilation for Norwegian fans at New York, New Jersey Stadium,
00:15as Erling Haaland inspired one of the tournament's biggest upsets by scoring
00:19twice to eliminate the five-time world champions. The 80,000 capacity stadium echoed with chants
00:26of Haaland's name as Norway supporters celebrated a historic victory. The Manchester City striker
00:32broke the deadlock in the 79th minute with a towering header before putting the result
00:37beyond doubt with a powerful long-range finish. Brazil could only respond through Neymar's
00:44stoppage time penalty, which proved too little, too late.
00:48He's just there and he just do it every time, you know, it's just, it's fabulous to watch
00:53and he's just a great player, so it's, yeah, it's crazy. I don't know what to say, it's,
00:59we beat Brazil in the World Cup and they're out, they're gone, they're, it's 70,000 people
01:05from Brazil, maybe 10,000 from Norway and we make more sound than they do today and we beat
01:10them and they are just gone, so it's, uh, it's amazing.
01:16You! You! You! I just knew it. I was totally relaxed, almost, but then when he scored,
01:25Wallon, oh my god, I stopped breathing for a minute, started crying and it was just crazy,
01:32we're going to Miami! Miami!
01:37The defeat marks Brazil's earliest World Cup exit since 1990 and extends their weight for
01:43a sixth title, with their last triumph coming in 2002. Many Brazilian supporters left the
01:49stadium in tears, while others remained hopeful that coach Carlo Ancelotti can rebuild the team
01:55ahead of the next World Cup.
01:57It's very difficult, it's very difficult. Once again, more of a cycle and everything's
02:02wrong. It's a lot of pain, we need to improve a lot. Let's wait and see that Ancelotti
02:12can win the next four years. It hurts a lot, it hurts a lot, it hurts a lot. We love
02:19this
02:19but we still are five. I'm very happy that I'm with my son here.
02:26It's hard to say something. The team was presenting a growth during the competition, but it's not the Brazil that
02:32we're used to see.
02:33So it's hard. It's hard to lose another game. But we'll see the next match with Antelotti having a job
02:39of 6 or 8 years ahead. It's hard.
02:44Hollens' brace also extended his scoring streak to 14 consecutive competitive matches and moved him level with Kylian Mbappe and
02:53Lionel Messi on seven goals in the race for the tournament's golden boot.
02:57Norway will next face England in the quarterfinals.
