Brazil vs Haiti 3:0 — A Comfortable Favorite's Win With No Real Surprises
Brazil beat Haiti 3-0, backing up their xG edge (1.75 to 0.23).
Brazil — Norway 1:2 — Balance Never Arrived
Strange nights linger. Brazil finished first in Group C on 7 points and Norway went through behind them on 6, yet the scoreboard belonged to Norway and the underlying picture leaned the other way, which is why this 1:2 will sit awkwardly long after the table has been filed away.
Brazil — Japan 2:1: Four Fouls, Full Control
Some wins are wrestled into existence; others are simply administered. Brazil moved past Japan 2:1 while committing just 4 fouls in ninety minutes — a number that describes the evening better than any highlight reel.
Scotland — Brazil 0:3: Three Answers, No Reply
Brazil needed no drama. A 4.33 xG evening produced a 0:3 away win at the World Cup group stage, and the 52% Crime Index confirms the obvious: the favourite did favourite things, thoroughly and on schedule.

The home loss to Norway is the tournament's biggest anomaly for the team
Brazil's single most anomalous covered match is a 1-2 home loss to Norway, Crime Index 75% — well above the team's 50% average across 5 reviewed matches. For a team of Brazil's stature, a home loss with a high Crime Index is a signal that the underlying chance quality favored the hosts far more than the final scoreline suggested.
Finishing slightly below the model overall
Across the 5 matches with calculated xG, Brazil generated 10.96 expected goals and scored 10 — a small shortfall against the model, though not a dramatic one at this sample size. Combined with the Norway loss, that paints a picture of a team creating enough chances to play like a favorite, but not always converting that pressure into the decisive goal exactly when it matters most — precisely the gap between performance and result the site's anomaly score is built to catch.
