Bruno Guimarães suffers Brazilian nightmare in cruel World Cup exit

It was a bad night for Bruno Guimarães in New York as Brazil were sent home from the World Cup by Norway.

Erling Haaland bagged a brace for Norway to send the Selecao packing after a first-half penalty miss from Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães, who was having a great tournament up until that point.

Norway are the only nation that Brazil have faced at a World Cup and never beaten, and that astonishing statistic remains intact once again.

Neymar Jr came on as a second-half substitute and grabbed a consolation goal for Brazil from the spot deep into second-half stoppage time, his first international goal for three years, but we imagine it will be the Newcastle man who gets the headlines in his home country for all the wrong reasons.

Bruno Guimarães will be haunted by his penalty miss

Norway thought they had the lead early on, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Then on 10 minutes, Brazil were awarded a penalty following a VAR review.

Vinicius Jr was holding the ball while the referee sorted everything out, but then passed it to Bruno Guimarães to place it on the spot.

Bruno stepped up and performed a stuttered run-up and tried to place the ball to the keeper's left, but Ørjan Nyland was more than equal to it. It was, in truth, an awful penalty from our star man.

After that, it felt like Bruno was desperate to make up for his miss as he spent so much time in the Norway penalty area trying to get on the end of anything and everything.

Norway were ahead less than a minute after Bruno Guimarães was hooked

Ederson replaced Bruno on 78 minutes, and less than a minute later, Erling Haaland had nodded Norway into the lead. What did you learn, Carlo Ancelotti?

Haaland doubled Norway's lead with a stunning left-foot drive from outside the area to keep himself in contention for the Golden Boot, joining Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi on seven goals.

Neymar scoring from the spot may just have rubbed salt in Bruno's wounds, but he definitely wasn't the only player in yellow and green who should be coming in for criticism. Brazil really are a shadow of their former selves and honestly didn't deserve to get anything out of that game.

Come back to Newcastle, Bruno. Come home and tell us all how you're going nowhere this summer!
