Brazil Out. Mexico Out. Haaland and Bellingham Make History.

Two Matches. Two All-Time World Cup Classics. Day 2 Was Absolutely Incredible.

If Day 1 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 was exciting, Day 2 took everything to a completely different level. Haaland scored twice in the final 11 minutes to knock out Brazil in front of 80,000 stunned fans. Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds at the Azteca before 10-man England somehow held on for a 3-2 win that nobody will forget. Two matches. Two nights of football that will live in FIFA 2026 history forever.

The quarter-finals are set. And they are going to be something else entirely.

Norway 2-1 Brazil: Haaland Scored Twice in 11 Minutes and Sent Five-Time Champions Home

Nobody will ever forget this one. Norway — a nation of 5.4 million people back at their first World Cup in 28 years — knocked out Brazil. Five-time world champions. The most decorated team in football history. Sent home in the Round of 16 by two late Erling Haaland goals that are already being called among the greatest in World Cup knockout history.

Brazil had every opportunity to put this one away early. Bruno Guimarães had a penalty in the 14th minute — saved brilliantly by goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, diving to his left and getting down fast. Vinicius Júnior drove through and found himself one-on-one with Nyland. Saved again. Endrick came off the bench and wasted a golden chance, poking it wide with only Nyland to beat. Brazil was squandering everything.

Norway were calm, patient and waiting. Then the halftime substitutions changed the entire match. Andreas Schjelderup came on and made an immediate impact — whipping a left-wing cross into the box in the 79th minute that Haaland met with a thundering header above Gabriel Magalhães. 1-0. The MetLife Stadium went silent except for the Norwegian fans doing the Viking Row — and incredibly, even some Brazilian fans had joined in before the match, not knowing what was coming.

In the 90th minute, Schjelderup found Haaland again at the edge of the box. One touch. Low hard drive into the bottom corner. Alisson did not move. 2-0. Norway had done it.

Neymar came on and scored a late penalty in stoppage time — almost certainly his final World Cup goal — but it changed nothing. Norway held on. The five-time champions are out. And Haaland now has seven FIFA 2026 goals, level with Messi and Mbappé at the top of the Golden Boot race.

England 3-2 Mexico: Bellingham Scores Twice in 98 Seconds at the Azteca — 10 Men Hold On

This match had absolutely everything. A thunderstorm that delayed kickoff by an hour. Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds. A red card. Two VAR penalties. Mexico laid siege to England's goal for 40-plus minutes. And 10-man England somehow, impossibly, holding on for a win that buried the ghosts of 1986 at the most iconic stadium in football.

Mexico started better and Jiménez nearly scored with a diving header that Pickford brilliantly tipped wide early on. The Azteca was rocking. Then Saka went on a run down the right in the 36th minute and whipped in a dangerous cross — Bellingham attacked it at the far post and nodded home. 1-0 England completely against the run of play.

Then 98 seconds later England struck again. Bellingham played a one-two with Kane, got it back inside the box and tapped it home. 2-0. The whole Azteca went completely silent. Bellingham had just become the first player to score two goals at the Estadio Azteca in a World Cup since Diego Maradona in 1986. Let that sink in.

Mexico pulled one back just before halftime — a corner came in and Quiñones reacted quickest, smashing a superb volley into the roof of the net. 2-1 at halftime and the atmosphere was electric again.

Then the second half turned the whole match on its head. Quansah slid in on Jesús Gallardo, caught his shin, and a VAR review gave him a straight red card in the 54th minute. England down to 10 men. 36 minutes plus stoppage time. At altitude. In Mexico City. In front of 87,000 people screaming for an equaliser.

Kane stepped up immediately. Gordon won a penalty in the 60th minute and the England captain buried it into the bottom corner. 3-1. But VAR stepped in again — Kane penalised at the other end for a foul on Gutiérrez and Jiménez scored from the spot. 3-2 with 20 minutes left.

What followed was 20 minutes of absolute siege. Mexico had eight corners. Jiménez headed one over. Pickford punched everything that came near him. Bellingham threw himself in front of a goal-bound header from a corner. England threw every single body on the line.

The final whistle blew. 3-2. England through. The Azteca conquered. The ghosts of 1986 are finally gone. Bellingham was historic and Pickford was immense. England faced Norway in Miami in what is already shaping up to be the quarter-final of the tournament.
