Guimarães Penalty Miss Dooms Brazil

Assistant coach Davide Ancelotti confirmed the decision to have Guimarães take the penalty was made before the match, despite Vinícius leading Brazil with four goals in four games. Ørjan Nyland saved Guimarães' effort in the 14th minute, marking Brazil's first unsuccessful World Cup penalty (not counting shootouts) since 1986.

Neymar scored from the spot in stoppage time, becoming only the second Brazilian after Pelé to score in four World Cups, but it wasn't enough to prevent Brazil's earliest World Cup exit since 1990. The five-time champions will now face four years of second-guessing why they didn't let their elite scorer take the crucial first penalty. rouesnews.click
