Match Report

Brazil were eliminated from the World Cup in a dramatic Round of 16 defeat to Norway, despite dominating the statistical picture for much of the contest. A VAR-confirmed penalty in the 12th minute gave Brazil an early opportunity, but Bruno Guimarães squandered it two minutes later, a miss that would prove costly. The first half ended goalless despite Brazil generating 2.73 expected goals to Norway's 0.84, reflecting a familiar story of spurned chances.

Norway's double substitutions at half-time transformed the tie. Erling Haaland, who had been quiet throughout, struck twice in the final ten minutes — a composed finish in the 80th minute and a clinical second in stoppage time — to stun the Seleção. Our pre-match AI model had favoured a Brazil win at 55%, a call that ultimately did not hold up against Norway's ruthless counter-attacking efficiency.

Neymar converted a late penalty deep into added time to reduce the deficit, having earlier been booked, but it was too little too late. Norway, who held 66% possession and limited Brazil to just four shots on target, advance to the quarter-finals.
