The Brazilian team was defeated 2-1 by Norway on Sunday (5/7) and said goodbye to the World Cup in the round of 16.

What happened?

The match started with Norway almost scoring in the first two minutes, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. The Brazilian team took control of the offense and created good opportunities, but couldn't score.

Why the defeat?

Norway returned more aggressively in the second half and began to exploit the spaces in the Brazilian defense. Erling Haaland scored the two goals of Norway's victory and decided the match in a second half dominated by the European team.

What's next?

The defeat means that Brazil was eliminated by a European team in the World Cup for the sixth time and recorded its worst campaign in the tournament since 1990. With a recent form of 2W-1D-1L, the Brazilian team needed a win to advance, but couldn't. The last match of Brazil was a 1-1 draw against Tunisia on November 18, 2025.
