With no margin for error, Brazil faces Norway on July 5 in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16.

The five-time world champions have made it through the group stage and Round of 32. Vinicius Junior and company are just four victories away from another World Cup trophy.

They face a perilous Norwegian side, led by prolific striker Erling Haaland, in one of the knockout round highlights.

What Happens If Brazil Wins Against Norway?

Brazil will advance to the World Cup quarterfinals if they beat Norway on Sunday.

It does not matter whether the victory comes in regulation time, extra time or via a penalty shootout. If they win, Brazil will qualify for the last eight, where they will meet the winner of the Round of 16 between Mexico and England.

If they win, it will also ensure that Brazil's record of winning a sixth World Cup remains intact. The Seleçãohave been one of the favorites in the tournament.

What Happens If Brazil Draws Against Norway?

If the game is drawn after 90 minutes, it is not the end of the game.

Rather, the game will enter 30 minutes of extra time. If the score is tied after extra time, the tie will be broken by a penalty shootout.

The team that wins the shootout moves on to the quarterfinals.

What Happens If Brazil Loses Against Norway?


Brazil will end its World Cup run if they lose in regulation time, extra time, or on penalties. Norway will then play the winner of Mexico vs. England.

Norway will be looking to make one of the biggest shocks of the tournament.

The Scandinavian side has enough attacking quality to cause problems for even Brazil's experienced defense, with Erling Haaland able to turn a game on its head in an instant.
