Brazil exits World Cup after 2-1 loss to Norway in knockout stage

Brazil was eliminated from the World Cup following a 2-1 defeat to Norway on July 5. Although Brazil dominated possession early on, they failed to convert key opportunities, including a missed penalty kick by Bruno Guimarães in the 14th minute. Norway secured the win with a strong second half performance, outpacing Brazil in possession stats. Neymar scored a late penalty in the 100th minute, but it was insufficient to change the outcome. The loss raises questions about the future direction of the team under coach Carlo Ancelotti.
