Orjan Nyland was one of the Brazilian national team’s tormentors at the last World Cup.
He saved the penalty taken by Bruno Guimarães and made other crucial saves that helped seal the elimination of Ancelotti’s side.
And the Norway goalkeeper has been in the spotlight “for the wrong reasons” in this Sunday’s (27) clash against Portugal.
Which is part of League A of the UEFA Nations League.
Now an RB Leipzig player after facing Brazil while unattached, Nyland made two bad mistakes against Gonçalo Ramos.
And he was only saved by VAR on one occasion.
Norway had just equalized through Haaland (51'), after João Félix opened the scoring in the 17th minute.
Then Nyland tried to play out from the back with Odegaard.
But the pass was too short, Gonçalo Ramos was alert and chipped the goalkeeper to put Portugal back in front (54').
It took only five minutes for them to cross paths again on the pitch.
Nyland tried to get there before the Milan striker, but miskicked it. And he paid the price.
But VAR stepped in and confirmed an offside position.
Much to Nyland’s relief in the match, which is still underway in Oslo.
