Bruno Guimarães misses penalty as Norway hold Brazil in World Cup 2026 last 16

Brazil came out firing in their World Cup 2026 round-of-16 clash with Norway, but an early penalty miss kept the game scoreless. Referee pointed to the spot in the 14th minute after a foul in the box, and midfielder Bruno Guimarães stepped up to take it. His effort lacked venom and direction, allowing Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland to read it and push it away with a solid save. Nyland, who has been in fine form for his club, came up big when it mattered most. Brazil continued to push forward, but Norway’s disciplined defense held firm, preventing any clear-cut chances in the opening exchanges.
