Brazil vs Norway Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live: Bruno Guimaraes failed to give Brazil the opening goal as he missed from the spot with the Norwegian goalkeeper Orjan Nyland pulling off a spectacular save as the Selecao and Norway went into half time with the score at 0-0 at the Metlife Stadium.

While both Haaland and Vinicius are familiar foes in the Champions League where the Brazilian’s Real Madrid and the Norwegian’s Manchester City have locked horns countless times, this will be one of the rare instances where these two goal-scoring behemoths will meet each other wearing their national colours. Haaland, meanwhile, will also stand across another very familiar face as Brazil and Arsenal defender Gabriel will be looking to one-up the Norwegian behemoth after their spicy battles in the Premier League.

Both Vinicius and Haaland are in hot form in the World Cup, scoring 4 and 5 goals respectively and are firmly in the race for the golden boot which France’s Kylian Mbappe leads at present with 7 goals and 2 assists, followed by Argentina’s Lionel Messi with 7 goals.

Brazil vs Norway FIFA World Cup LIVE: 13' | WHAT A SAVE!!!

Oh dear, dear. It looks like a penalty for Brazil as Cunha has been fouled. The referee did not give it but I think the VAR will have a look at this. And much to the dismay of Norway, the referee is going to look at the screen. Which mostly means a pen. And yes, it's a spot kick. Ajer might want the ground to swallow him up. Guimaraes to take it.

Brazil vs Norway FIFA World Cup LIVE: A comic opera

In 2012, writer and satirist Are Kalvø turned the moment when a very skinny Tore André Flo of Norway was trying to break free from a stocky Brazilian Junior Baiano which ultimately resulted in the Scandinavian country getting awarded a penalty, into a comic opera called ‘Norge – Brasil, an opera’. It would get nominated for that year’s Hedda Awards for Best Production. (READ MORE)

The most famous encounter between these two teams was in the 1998 World Cup where Norway had defeated Brail 2-1 with goals from Tore Andre Flo and Kjetil Rekdal.

Brazil vs Norway FIFA World Cup LIVE: Hello and Welcome

One of the most hotly anticipated contests of the World Cup is finally upon us as Brazil's Vinicius Jr and Norway's Erling Haaland will stand face to face with each other in a rare match-up in their national colours in the Round of 16 at the Metlife Stadium. Haaland, the Manchester City superstar and Vinicius, Real Madrid's fiery winger had met countless times in the Champions League but this one is arguably their most important encounter yet. Who comes out on top tonight? Follow our live blog to find out.

How Norway’s 1998 upset win over Brazil inspired a comic opera

When Norway beat Brazil at 1998 World Cup, writer and satirist Are Kalvø zeroed in on one iconic image from the game. The famous frame showed a very skinny Tore André Flo of Norway trying to break free from a stocky Brazilian Junior Baiano. In the grainy photograph Flo was agape, eyes flailing as Baiano held his shirt from behind like a leash. The referee would award Norway a penalty that would give them a historic 2-1 win over the multiple World Champions.
