Brazil Penalty Decision Backfires vs Norway

Brazil's decision to have Bruno Guimarães take the penalty instead of star scorer Vinícius Júnior backfired in their 2-1 loss to Norway. Assistant coach Davide Ancelotti confirmed the choice was made before the match, saying 'It was decided before the game that Bruno Guimarães should take the penalty.' akupunkturabielsko.pl

Despite Vinícius leading Brazil with four goals in four games, Guimarães stepped up to the spot but his shot was saved by Ørjan Nyland in the 14th minute. Brazil eventually scored through Neymar late in the game, but it wasn't enough to prevent the five-time champions from exiting in the round of 16, their earliest World Cup exit since 1990.
