Norway stunned five-time champions Brazil with Erling Haaland's late double, while England overcame a red card and a hostile Estadio Azteca to eliminate hosts Mexico in a five-goal thriller.
Brazil 1-2 Norway
Haaland headed Norway in front from Schjelderup's cross in the 79th minute, then blasted a 20-yard screamer in the 90th to seal a historic quarterfinal berth. Bruno Guimaraes had a first-half penalty saved, with Neymar converting a consolation spot-kick in the 100th minute. Norway reached their first-ever World Cup quarterfinal, while Brazil's curse against the Scandinavians continued — three losses and two draws in five meetings. Haaland's seventh goal drew him level with Messi and Mbappe atop the golden boot race.
Mexico 2-3 England
Jude Bellingham struck twice in 98 seconds (36', 38'), assisted by Saka and Kane respectively, before Quiñones pulled one back on 42'. Jarell Quansah's 54th-minute red card left England a man down, but Kane converted a penalty on 60'. Jiménez replied from the spot on 69', yet England held on through a furious bombardment. It was England's first-ever away win over a host nation and only the third time this century a visitor triumphed at the Azteca.
