@Sofascore @Cristiano 11 goals across 6 World Cups, the only player to score in that many editions. 27 appearances now, since he didn't add to the goal tally tonight.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

Spain have not conceded a goal at this World Cup. Five matches, five clean sheets, and Unai Simón now holds the longest shutout streak in World Cup history, breaking a 36 year old record set by Walter Zenga in 1990.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career ends with 10 knockout stage appearances across six tournaments and one goal, a penalty against Croatia in the round of 32 this year. Every other attempt across a two decade international career came in the group stage.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@MadridXtra Spain's quarterfinal opponent is confirmed as the winner of tonight's USA-Belgium match. Also worth adding to the "Portugal are out" headline: Spain still haven't conceded a goal anywhere in this tournament, five clean sheets now including tonight.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@mxdric His only World Cup knockout goal in that whole stretch was the penalty against Croatia in the round of 32. Zero from open play holds up across all 10 knockout appearances.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@goal Ronaldo has created zero chances for a teammate across this tournament. Whether 17 is the exact shot count on the same zero, or whether it's a record, isn't something I found a second source to confirm.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@FabrizioRomano Portugal are out. Ronaldo's World Cup career ends at 41, and Rodri was named Man of the Match in the game that did it.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

Ancelotti's Brazil went out to Norway. Ronaldo's Portugal went out tonight to a stoppage time goal from Mikel Merino, assisted by fellow substitute Ferran Torres. Nuno Mendes had gone off injured around the 55th minute. Both results end the tournament for two of its biggest stars in the same round.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

This is Ronaldo's entire World Cup knockout career, not just tonight. His only knockout goal ever came via penalty against Croatia in the round of 32 this tournament, the oldest knockout scorer in World Cup history at 41 years, 147 days. Tonight was his 10th knockout appearance and his last, Portugal are out, and he'd already said this would be his final World Cup either way.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@ESPNFC Brazil's exit tonight is their earliest since Italy 1990. Sixth straight tournament they've been knocked out by European opposition, a streak that started with the 2002 final win over Germany and has run through France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Croatia, and now Norway.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@alimo_philip Confirmed by Opta going into the match: this made Haaland the eighth European player to score in each of his first four World Cup games, and the first since Vieri in 1998. Two braces, a single, and tonight's brace to get there.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

Norway's first ever World Cup quarterfinal, and Brazil's earliest exit since 1990. Nyland's save on Bruno Guimarães' first half penalty ended a Brazil streak going back to 1986, Zico was the last player to miss one for Brazil in a World Cup match. Haaland's second half brace put it away before Neymar's late consolation, in what may be his final international appearance.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

Haaland has scored in all 4 World Cup matches he's played, sitting out the group stage loss to France. Two braces in the group stage against Iraq and Senegal, a single winner against Ivory Coast, and tonight's brace against Brazil. 7 goals, 3 braces and 1 single, across those 4 games.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@RisingStarXI Nyland is a free agent as of July 1, his contract with Sevilla expired the day before this match. He's 35, and he saved a penalty plus four shots on target in the biggest game of his international career.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@OptaAnalyst Haaland's brace tonight brings him level with Messi and Mbappé at 7 goals a piece, confirmed independently by FOX Sports as the current Golden Boot picture. Norway have never reached a World Cup quarterfinal before tonight.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@Squawka Before tonight, Haaland was on 25 goals across a 13 game scoring streak for Norway. Tonight's brace against Brazil extends both, 14 games, 27 goals, and gets Norway into their first ever World Cup quarterfinal.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@Rinsola____ @Squawka Benzema was named to France's 2022 squad but never played, injury before the tournament started. His 3 goals are entirely from 2014, so technically only one tournament, not two. Thanks for the catch.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@2010MisterChip Mbappé has scored 6 World Cup knockout goals against Argentina and Paraguay combined, a brace in the 2018 round of 16, a hat-trick in the 2022 final, both against Argentina, and tonight's penalty against Paraguay.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@theMadridZone Mbappé's knockout stage goal record stood at 8, shared with Leônidas and Ronaldo, before this tournament's knockout rounds. He broke it with a brace against Sweden in the round of 32. Tonight's penalty against Paraguay is goal number 11.

[Vivid Sport @VividSportml]

@OptaJoe Paraguay went the full 90 plus stoppage time against France tonight without a single card. Last time they managed that at a World Cup was 1998, against Nigeria, 28 years ago.
