Overview
- The match at MetLife Stadium remained 0-0 after Norway’s early Patrick Berg goal was overturned for offside and Brazil’s Bruno Guimarães had a penalty saved by Norway keeper Örjan Nyland.
- Sunday’s VAR offside reversal used FIFA’s semi-automatic system to detect a marginal forward position and nullify a goal within minutes of the attempt.
- Brazil is missing midfielder Lucas Paquetá because of a reported grade-2 hamstring injury that one outlet says will likely rule him out for the rest of the tournament.
- Coach Carlo Ancelotti named Neymar on the bench and confirmed he was available as a substitute, while Brazil started a lineup adjusted to Paquetá’s absence.
- The game is being played in New Jersey with live broadcasts on regional channels and streaming services including TyC Sports, DSports and Paramount+, and the winner will face the victor of Mexico vs England at the Estadio Azteca.
