Bruno Guimarães ends 40-year drought for Brazil with missed World Cup penalty
During their Round of 16 clash, Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimarães became the first player from his country in four decades to fail to score a penalty during regulation time after Norwegian keeper Ørjan Nyland blocked his attempt. The last time a Brazilian player missed a spot-kick in this manner was in the 1986 quarter-finals, when Zico was unable to score against France. Brazil ultimately fell to Norway with a final score of 1-2.
