Brazil was beaten 2-1 by Norway this Sunday (5), in New Jersey, and said goodbye to the World Cup in the round of 16 stage. The duel also marked Neymar's likely farewell to the World Cup.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Neymar entered the field in place of Gabriel Martinelli. At this time, the match was tied 0-0.
According to the "Sofascore" platform, the 34-year-old midfielder had 21 actions with the ball. In total, he completed nine passes, missed three crosses and lost the ball on nine occasions.
In the final stretch of the game, Neymar converted the penalty and reduced the score to 2-1. Before that, the player was involved in a quick altercation with the Norwegians and received a yellow card from referee Ismail Elfath.
