In the World Cup 2026 Round of 16, Norway stunned Brazil with a 2-1 victory at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The match turned early when Bruno Guimaraes missed a penalty in the 14th minute, with Orjan Nyland saving his left-footed spot-kick. Guimaraes became the first Brazilian to miss a World Cup penalty since Zico in 1986. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed that Neymar was the designated penalty taker, followed by Raphinha, with Guimaraes only fourth in the pecking order. Erling Haaland broke the deadlock in the 79th minute with a powerful header from Andreas Schjelderup's cross, then doubled the lead in the 90th minute with a clinical finish. Neymar, who came on as a substitute, scored a consolation penalty in the 90+10th minute after Leo Ostigard's foul on Casemiro. Brazil exited in the Round of 16 for the first time since 1990, while Norway reached the quarter-finals for the first time in their history. After the match, Neymar announced his retirement from international football. Guimaraes took full responsibility for the defeat, calling it the most painful moment of his life. Norway will face England in the quarter-finals.
