Norway Shocks Brazil in Major Upset
Norway secured a spot in the quarter-finals by defeating Brazil, the five-time world champions, with a surprising 2-1 victory in the Round of 16, marking one of the tournament's biggest upsets. Erling Haaland scored twice during the match, bringing his total to seven goals, tying him with Poland's Grzegorz Lato for the most goals in a debut World Cup since 1974.
Bellingham's Brilliance Leads England Past Mexico
England has made it to their 11th FIFA World Cup quarter-final, trailing only Brazil (15) and Germany (14) in terms of appearances at this stage. In their match against Mexico, the team scored three goals at the Azteca Stadium, a feat Mexico had not experienced since August 1999 when they lost 4-3 to Brazil. Remarkably, Mexico conceded more goals in this match (3) than in their previous ten World Cup games at the venue combined (2).
Despite Mexico's relentless efforts to equalize after falling behind 3-2, England's defense held firm, ensuring their advancement to the quarter-finals, where they will face Norway on July 11. Jude Bellingham made history by becoming the first player since Diego Maradona in 1986 to net two goals in a World Cup match at the Azteca Stadium, leading England to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico.
