The match went into extra time with the score 1-1. Then Manchester City's striker stepped up as so many times before and scored the winning goal in the 86th minute to make it 2-1. It was Haaland's 60th goal in 53 international appearances.
It's crazy. It's a journey that's fun to be a part of. It's big, says Haaland in the match interview on Norwegian television.
Norway took the lead after just under 40 minutes when Leipzig's Antonio Nusa headed in a pass from Martin Ødegaard, of Arsenal.
Ivory Coast then equalised through Manchester United's 23-year-old Amad Diallo. Diallo also had a good chance to equalise in the final minute, but Ørjan Nyland made a strong save.
Norway now faces Brazil in the round of 16, who in turn knocked out Japan 2-1.
In four previous attempts, Brazil has never beaten Norway, according to NTB. There have been two draws and two Norwegian victories.
The teams meet on Sunday at 10:00 PM, where Norway has the chance to advance to its first ever World Cup quarter-final.
"Very small," says Haaland about the chances of beating Brazil.
