CROATIA DEFEATED BRAZIL
Croatia achieved an agonizing 1-1 draw in extra time against Brazil and defeated them in the penalty shootout by 4-2, prevailing in the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The 'Scratch' says goodbye prematurely to the tournament and the 'Croatians' - with Luka Modric at the helm - advance to the semifinals in search of a new pass to a World Cup final. Relive the summary of the match below.
Zlatko Dalic set up a tough match in which they managed to be intense in marking and neutralizing Brazil's flashy game. Neymar and Vinicius could do little against Dominik Livakovic, who emerged as the great figure of the match. In the second half, scoring chances were latent, but the Croatian goalkeeper prevailed as a wall and forged extra time.
In the second half, Brazil pressed the accelerator and achieved the long-awaited 1-0 with Neymar, who took Livakovic into the box and scored for the 1-0 at 105'. It seemed that the 'verdeamarelha' was taking the pass to the semifinals with the clock against the Croats, but at 117' Bruno Petkovic would correctly define inside the box to get the 1-1 that took the definition to the penalty shootout.
From the penalty spot, Livakovic would save Rodrygo's penalty and then Marquinhos would miss the crucial shot against a lethal Croatia, which scored all four executions it had and thus took the 4-2 victory. With this result, Brazil was eliminated and now Croatia advances to the semifinals of the tournament, where they will await the winner of Argentina-Netherlands.
