Brazil was eliminated before the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 1990, ending a streak of eight consecutive appearances at this stage.

In the 1990 World Cup, the Seleção had then lost (0-1) to Argentina in the round of 16 on a goal by Claudio Caniggia. Following that precedent, it’s now Erling Haaland and Norway who stand in the way of the Brazilians, preventing them from reaching the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals.
