世界杯淘汰赛：哈兰德双响，挪威二比一爆冷淘汰五星巴西

这是一场载入挪威足球史册的胜利，也是一位巨星的落幕。

This is a win for the Norwegian record books, and also the curtain call for a superstar.

先说说巴西。

First, a word on Brazil.

巴西是世界足坛的超级豪门，历史上五次捧起世界杯，是当之无愧的夺冠热门。

Brazil are a super-power of world soccer, five-time World Cup winners, and deserved title favorites.

而他们的对手挪威，虽然近年来实力上升，但纸面上和巴西仍有不小的差距。

Their opponents Norway, though rising in recent years, still sit a fair distance below Brazil on paper.

不过，他们手里握着一张王牌——哈兰德。

But they held one trump card in their hand — Haaland.

好，我们进入比赛。

Alright, into the game.

上半场，双方互有攻守，比分是零比零。

In the first half, the two sides traded attacks, and the score was nil-nil.

下半场很长一段时间，巴西掌握着场面，一次次向挪威的球门发起进攻，却始终无法破门。

For much of the second half, Brazil held the play, attacking Norway's goal again and again, yet could never break through.

挪威则退守半场，用顽强的防守死死顶住，耐心地等待着属于自己的那一次机会。

Norway dropped deep, holding firm with stubborn defending, patiently waiting for their moment.

就在所有人都以为比赛要进入加时的时候，那个最可怕的人，出手了。

Just as everyone assumed the game was heading to extra time, the most fearsome man of all struck.

第七十九分钟，哈兰德高高跃起，用一记教科书般的头球攻破巴西球门，零比一，挪威爆冷取得领先。

In the seventy-ninth minute, Haaland rose high and beat the Brazil keeper with a textbook header — zero to one, Norway shocking their way into the lead.

而这，仅仅是个开始。

And this was only the beginning.

第九十分钟，哈兰德在禁区外抓住机会，一脚低射再入一球，零比二，几乎宣判了巴西的死刑。

In the ninetieth minute, Haaland seized a chance outside the box and scored again with a low finish — zero to two, all but sealing Brazil's fate.

两个进球，让哈兰德本届世界杯的入球数来到了七个。

Those two goals took Haaland's tally at this World Cup to seven.

落后两球的巴西这才如梦初醒，内马尔挺身而出，罚进了一个点球，把比分追成一比二。

Only now, two goals down, did Brazil wake as if from a dream: Neymar stepped up and converted a penalty to pull it back to one to two.

但为时已晚，剩下的时间里，巴西再也没能创造奇迹。

But it was too late, and in the time that remained, Brazil could conjure no miracle.

最终，挪威二比一，历史性地将五星巴西挡在了八强门外。

In the end, Norway won two to one, historically shutting five-time champions Brazil out of the quarter-finals.

那么，这场比赛该怎么评价？

So, how should this game be judged?

对挪威来说，这是一场足以载入国家史册的伟大胜利。

For Norway, this is a great win worthy of the national record books.

他们第一次闯入世界杯八强，而哈兰德，用一己之力扛起了整支球队。

They reached a World Cup quarter-final for the first time, and Haaland single-handedly carried the whole team.

对巴西而言，这场失利无疑是灾难性的。

For Brazil, this defeat is without doubt catastrophic.

作为最被看好的球队之一，他们过早地告别了世界杯，实在令人意外。

As one of the most fancied teams, they bid the World Cup an early farewell, a genuine shock.

而更让人感慨的是内马尔。

And most poignant of all is Neymar.

这个点球，是他本届世界杯的第一个，也很可能是最后一个进球。

That penalty was his first goal at this World Cup, and very likely his last.

据报道，赛后内马尔宣布退出国家队，这几乎可以肯定是他最后一届世界杯了。

According to reports, after the game Neymar announced his retirement from the national team, making this almost certainly his final World Cup.

一个时代，就此落幕。

An era, just like that, comes to an end.

这就是挪威二比一巴西，一场属于哈兰德、也属于告别的比赛。

That's Norway two to one Brazil, a game belonging to Haaland, and to a farewell.

我们下一场再会。

See you next match.
