Brazil exits World Cup early after penalty miss against Norway
Summary

Brazil lost 2-1 to Norway in the round of 16, marking their earliest exit from the World Cup since 1990.

Neymar scored a late penalty in stoppage time, but Brazil's chances of advancing ended as they failed to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in over 30 years. The team will face scrutiny over their penalty kick decisions in this tournament.
