NorwayvsBrazil
NOR 2/BRA 1
Things to say
Norway beat Brazil 2-1 at MetLife Stadium in the World Cup.
01
opener
Norway went into MetLife and knocked off Brazil, two-one. Brazil had all the ball and nothing to show for it. Absolute stunner.
02
key player
Haaland was a menace up top, four shots and just bullied that back line all night. Told you he'd travel.
03
hot take
Brazil are all flash and no end product. Vinícius had two shots the whole match, that's shambolic for a side with those names.
04
deep cut
Sander Berge quietly put up a hundred and seventeen accurate passes in midfield. Ran the whole thing and nobody's talking about him.
05
exit
Anyway, Brazil better sort it out quick before the knockouts, or they're getting an early flight home.
The recap
Norway walked into MetLife and stunned Brazil 2-1, and it wasn't a fluke. Haaland was a menace up top with four cracks at goal, and Sander Berge quietly ran the show with a ridiculous 117 accurate passes.
Brazil huffed and puffed but only found the net once, with Vinícius kept unusually quiet. Alisson made his saves, but the back line couldn't handle Norway's punch on the day.
