NEW JERSEY, July 7 – Norway, back at the World Cup after 28 years, faced five-time champions Brazil in a Round of 16 clash. The Scandinavians famously beat Brazil 2-1 at France 1998 and remain unbeaten in four encounters. Led by Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, Norway edged Ivory Coast 2-1 to reach this stage.
