Erling Haaland has etched his name into the 2026 World Cup, as Norway and their passionate supporters made history with a remarkable performance.
This marks Norway’s first appearance on football’s biggest stage since 1998. On Sunday, they pulled off a stunning upset by defeating five-time champions Brazil to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
Haaland, who currently shares the top spot in the tournament’s goal-scoring chart with seven goals, netted twice to help his team overcome the South American giants.
After the final whistle, captain Martin Odegaard handed Haaland a pair of drumsticks, encouraging him to lead the fans in a traditional Viking-style rowing celebration inside the stadium. Broadcast footage showed that supporters around the world joined in virtually, turning the moment into one of the tournament’s most iconic celebrations.
Norwegian fans delivered what many are calling the celebration of the World Cup so far, perfectly capturing the nation’s pride and unity in their historic run.
