Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: Bruno Giamaes had the opportunity to put Brazil ahead early on. The midfielder failed to score from the penalty spot in the 14th minute of the match. His shot was saved by Norway goalkeeper Orian Nyland. This is the first time a Brazilian player has missed a penalty in regular or extra time in a World Cup main match, excluding a tiebreaker or penalty shootout. The last time Brazilian legendary footballer Zico missed a penalty was in the quarter-final main match against France in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. After that, the Seleção was 100% successful in scoring from penalties in the World Cup for four long decades.
Today, as Bruno failed to score from the spot-kick against Norway, the old and bitter memories of Zico came back to the Brazilian camp.
