Three minutes in, Patrick Berg curled a clinical effort into the back of the net and the Norwegian supporters inside MetLife erupted. The celebration lasted about 90 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>VAR stepped in. A check on the build-up revealed Alexander S\u00f8rloth had drifted just a fraction offside before delivering the cross that led to the goal. The flag went up. Berg&#8217;s strike \u2014 the kind of goal that wins matches \u2014 was chalked off.<\/p>\n<p>A brutal start for Norway. But they shook it off quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brazil_Win_the_Penalty_Then_Waste_It\"><\/span><b>Brazil Win the Penalty, Then Waste It<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/brazil\/brazil-squad\">Brazil <\/a>responded with their own threat. Between the 11th and 12th minute, Matheus Cunha burst into the box and was brought down by a clumsy slide tackle from Kristoffer Ajer. The contact was clear. The referee pointed to the spot without hesitation, and a quick VAR review confirmed the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil had their chance to take the lead. Then came Carlo Ancelotti&#8217;s surprise. Rather than handing the ball to Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, the Brazil manager chose Bruno Guimar\u00e3es to take the penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Guimar\u00e3es attempted a stutter-step run-up. \u00d8rjan Nyland read every pixel of it \u2014 diving low to his left to produce a massive parry. The ball stayed out. The stadium exhaled. Brazil had handed Norway an enormous lifeline in the 14th minute.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_Keepers_Zero_Goals\"><\/span><b>Two Keepers, Zero Goals<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After a hydration break around the 23rd minute, Norway began to impose themselves on the ball. Brazil, for their part, remained dangerous from turnovers \u2014 pressing high and committing bodies forward whenever Norway lost possession.<\/p>\n<p>The first genuinely dangerous Norwegian chance arrived in the 37th minute. Martin \u00d8degaard found space at the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful strike that sailed just inches wide of Alisson Becker&#8217;s near post. The ball went past the keeper,<\/p>\n<p>The final exchanges of the half were relentless. In the 45th minute, \u00d8degaard turned the ball over in his own half, and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior was away on a clean breakaway. Nyland came off his line and produced a brilliant reflex leg-save to deny Brazil&#8217;s most dangerous forward.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in the 45+3rd minute, Alisson was called into action at the other end \u2014 a stunning one-on-one reflex save to deny \u00d8degaard&#8217;s ferocious strike right on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n<p>And the drama still wasn&#8217;t done. In the 45+4th minute, Gabriel Martinelli missed a golden chance to break the deadlock, completely mistiming his jump on a cross from Rayan on the right flank and failing to connect with his header.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_the_Match_Stands\"><\/span><b>Where the Match Stands<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Brazil have the better squad on paper and will feel they should be ahead. The penalty miss is the story of the first half. Guimar\u00e3es is an excellent midfielder, but this was Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior&#8217;s moment to take \u2014 and Ancelotti&#8217;s decision will face severe scrutiny if Brazil fail to win this.<\/p>\n<p>Norway have been compact and dangerous on the break, and Nyland \u2014 who has been outstanding \u2014 has kept them in it. \u00d8degaard is pulling strings, creating chances, and Brazil&#8217;s backline has not looked entirely comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Two keepers have made this half.
