Erling Haaland delivered a performance described as that of an "absolute monster" as Norway eliminated Brazil in the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2026, according to BBC Sport pundits Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, and Micah Richards.

The trio of analysts were unanimous in their admiration for Haaland, calling his display "remarkable" as Norway secured a famous victory against one of the tournament's most celebrated nations.

Brazil, perennial contenders and five-time world champions, were unable to contain Haaland's relentless threat across the 90 minutes. The striker's dominance proved the decisive factor in a knockout tie that sent shockwaves through the competition.

Rooney, Hart, and Richards — speaking as part of BBC Sport's FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage — broke down how Haaland's individual brilliance dismantled Brazil's defence and drove Norway into the next round of the tournament.

The result marks a significant moment in Norwegian football, with Haaland cementing his status as one of the most feared forwards on the planet at football's biggest stage.
