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 a goal just two and a half minutes in, but it was disallowed due to offside.

The Brazilian team took control of the offensive actions and created good opportunities, but couldn't score.

Why the defeat?

Norway came back more aggressively in the second half and started to exploit the spaces in the Brazilian defense. Erling Haaland scored the two goals of Norway's victory and decided the match.

The Brazilian team maintained its taboo against the Norwegians, an opponent they had never beaten in history.

What's next?

With the defeat, 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.

Brazil's last match was a 1-1 draw against Tunisia on November 18, 2025.

The Brazilian team has a recent record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 4 games, with the sequence of DWLW, the last match being the loss to Norway.
