Guimarães Penalty Miss Dooms Brazil

Brazil's Bruno Guimarães missed a penalty kick in the 14th minute, a decision that was premeditated before the match according to assistant coach Davide Ancelotti. The miss proved costly as Brazil fell 2-1 to Norway in the round of 16, their earliest World Cup exit since 1990.

Despite having Vinícius Júnior, who led the team with four goals in four games, at the penalty spot, Guimarães took the kick and was stopped by Ørjan Nyland. Neymar later converted Brazil's second penalty in stoppage time, joining Pelé as the only Brazilian players to score in four World Cups, but it wasn't enough to save the team from elimination. djcc.club
