In the ongoing Round of 16 match against Norway, Brazil had a chance to take the lead when Matheus Cunha was fouled in the box. After a VAR review, a penalty was awarded to Brazil in the 14th minute. Vinícius Júnior initially took the ball but passed it to Bruno Guimarães, whose penalty was saved by Ørjan Nyland. This marks Brazil's fifth missed penalty in World Cup history, and the team has been eliminated in World Cup knockout games two of the last three times they failed to convert a penalty. Brazil has also never beaten Norway in four previous encounters.
