Brazil tries to break historical taboo against Norway in World Cup decision

nThe Brazilian team takes the field this Sunday (2), at 7pm, against Norway, in a match that counts for a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti seeks to break a taboo during the decisive match: beating the Norwegians for the first time in history.

In four games played between the teams, Norway has two wins and two draws, remaining undefeated against the Brazilian team.

The only match that took place during a World Cup was in 1998, when Brazil lost 2-1 to the European team in the group stage. On that occasion, the Norwegian goals went to Flo and Rekdal, while Bebeto scored for Canarinho.

Despite the defeat, the Brazilian team advanced as leader of Group A and reached the grand final of the edition, but was beaten by France 3-0.

This Sunday's game (5) between Brazil and Norway in the round of 16 is decisive. The team that advances will face an even greater challenge in the quarter-finals, facing the winner of the clash between Mexico and England.
