Day 27: Haaland stuns Brazil, England survive Azteca

Day 27 is the tournament's first true giant-killer double: Norway sent Brazil out 2-1, then ten-man England survived Mexico 3-2 at the Azteca to set up a Norway-England quarter-final. 1 2

Norway's shock came late: Erling Haaland scored in the 79th and 90th minutes, Neymar's 90+10' penalty only made it 2-1, and ESPN's match report framed it as Norway's first World Cup quarter-final in 28 years. 3

England's chaos was different: Jude Bellingham scored in the 36th and 38th minutes, Jarell Quansah was sent off in the 54th, Harry Kane converted a 60th-minute penalty, and Mexico pushed back through Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez before falling short. 4
