Erling Haaland strikes late as Norway defeat Ivory Coast. But can they beat Brazil?

Key Points:

• Erling Haaland scored a late winner in the 86th minute to secure a 2-1 victory for Norway against Ivory Coast in Dallas, setting up a World Cup last 16 match against Brazil in New Jersey on July 5.
• Antonio Nusa opened the scoring for Norway with a brilliant curling strike in the 39th minute, while Ivory Coast's substitute Amad equalized in the 74th minute before Haaland's decisive goal.
• Haaland became the first player to score in his first three World Cup appearances and the fastest to reach 60 international goals, despite having a relatively quiet game until the late winner.
• Norway's upcoming clash with Brazil is notable as Norway hold an unbeaten record against Brazil in international football, with two wins and two draws from four meetings, including a 1998 World Cup group stage victory.
• The match highlighted Norway's attacking depth beyond Haaland, with Nusa's performance and key contributions from substitutes like Oscar Bobb and Amad proving crucial in securing the win.
