Italy was more dangerous during the regular time, but couldn't overcome goalkeeper João Pedro, who had another great match. Felipe Morais managed to score with a header for Brazil, but the VAR disallowed the goal for offside.

In the penalties, João Pedro's star shone again. The goalkeeper, who had saved six penalties during the tournament, saved another shot, but it wasn't enough to secure a Brazilian victory. Luis Pacheco and Luis Eduardo missed for Brazil, ending their participation in the World Cup with another defeat.
