filled with an ocean of yellow and puddles of red, playing against a nation home to more than 200 million more citizens, playing an opponent that has won a record five World Cups and had made eight consecutive quarterfinal appearances on the sport\u2019s grandest stage.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/metrotransitreview.com\/?p=3783\">Brazil vs. Norway live updates: Vikings advance in World Cup after Erling Haaland\u2019s two goals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Norway had the man who makes anything possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings will march on in their first World Cup appearance in 28 years after Erling Haaland\u2019s 80th-minute header, and 90th-minute blast, delivered his homeland its greatest victory ever, sending the Norwegians to their first World Cup quarterfinal after pulling off a 2-1 upset of Brazil on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Haaland, who now has seven goals in four games in the World Cup, is even with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race.<\/p>\n<p>After a weeks-long odyssey in which Norwegians have invaded multiple cities and provided one of the most delightful and defining images of this World Cup \u2014 via imaginary oars, infectious chants and thumping drums \u2014 the \u201cViking Row\u201d vessel will next head to Miami to face the winner of England-Mexico on July 11, while Brazil will head home after its earliest World Cup elimination since 1990.<\/p>\n<p>Norway, coming off its first knockout stage win against Ivory Coast, had failed to qualify for the previous six World Cups \u2014 as well as all but one World Cup from 1930 to 1990 \u2014 but strangely entered as the only nation that Brazil had never defeated in a previous matchup in international play, including a stunning upset in the group stage in 1998.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>World Cup Merch shop<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"USMNT Icon Red
