Even with the goal, the Brazilian team was unable to react and was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 16.
On X, many profiles criticized the 34-year-old player's attitude. Neymar argued intensely with the goalkeeper both before and after taking the maximum penalty, which reduced Brazil's deficit against Norway.
Norwegian archer, Orjan Nyland, had an excellent performance throughout the match. He had already saved a penalty taken by Bruno Guimarães in the 13th minute of the match. The 35-year-old athlete, who is without a club after leaving Sevilla, demonstrated high performance throughout the game against Brazil.
Brazil's elimination and Neymar's reaction
Neymar "collapsed" on the lawn of the MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey, USA, after Brazil's elimination to Norway this Sunday (5). After the final whistle, the number 10 knelt down, prayed and was moved to tears. Afterwards, he sat on the field and was helped by Raphinha. This was the player's last World Cup.
The Brazilian team lost to Norway 2-1 and was eliminated in the round of 16 of the tournament. Erling Haaland scored both Norwegian goals, while Neymar scored from the penalty spot in the final minutes of the match.
Next clashes and the historical taboo
Now, the Norwegians face the winner of the duel between Mexico and England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The match will be held next Saturday (11), at 6pm (Brasília time), in the city of Miami, USA.
In addition to qualifying for the next phase, the Norwegians maintained a taboo against Brazil. In five duels between the teams in history, Canarinho has never achieved a direct confrontation victory. The history records three defeats and two draws for the Brazilian team against Norway.
