Brazil Penalty Decision Leads to Early Exit

Brazil suffered their earliest World Cup exit since 1990 after losing 2-1 to Norway in the round of 16. The decision for Bruno Guimarães to take the penalty instead of Vinícius Júnior, Brazil's top scorer with four goals in the tournament, was made before the match according to assistant coach Davide Ancelotti.

Guimarães' penalty was saved by Ørjan Nyland in the 14th minute, marking Brazil's first unsuccessful penalty in the World Cup since 1986. Brazil eventually scored through Neymar from a late penalty, but it wasn't enough to prevent the five-time champions from being eliminated. betsport24.es
