  To make it worse… Neymar didn't even take a penalty. And with the rumours over whether it would be his last World Cup, this is like rubbing the salt on the wound. A few minutes ago, Neymar and Brazil were in euphoria over his goal that gave the side the lead in the match. In the end, however, it were Croatia that prevailed.

  First bit of attack from Croatia in this half as Kovacic runs in from the left, but brilliant defending from Thiago Silva on the occasion.

  Croatia haven't won a game inside 90 minutes at the FIFA World Cup knock-out stages since the 2018 World Cup. They won the Round of 16 and semi-final ties on penalties, while the quarter-final in extra time. This year, they defeated Japan on penalties!

• 9 Dec 2022, 09:55:03 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Score: LIVAKOVIC! What a save

  Point-blank save from Livakovic to deny Paqueta! Huge roar from the Croatian crowd and equally massive support from the Brazilian fans near the goal as the side goes insanely close to taking the lead. CRO 0-0 BRA, 66'

  FIFA World Cup Live Updates: Half-time!

  It remains goalless between both sides at half-time in the first quarter-final in Al Rayyan. Brazil have been the more attacking side but Croatia have defended impressively. While the latter are yet to register a shot on target, Perisic came close in the opening few minutes and the defenders have left the Brazilians considerably ragged on some occasions. Big 45 minutes coming up! CRO 0-0 BRA

• 9 Dec 2022, 09:13:24 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Updates: Free-kick in sweet spot…

  … but goalkeeper remains wary. Neymar gets the free-kick from 25 yards and there's a deflection off the wall – but it isn't too big for the goalkeeper to make a last-second adjustment. In fact, it only slows the pace of the ball and the goalkeeper has a simple catch in the end. CRO 0-0 BRA, 42'

• 9 Dec 2022, 09:10:15 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Score: Nearing half-time

  Brozovic again! He runs dangerously on the left, but is left alon . He eventually concedes a goal kick. Croatia slowly running out of gas here. Still 7 minutes to go for half-time whistle. CRO 0-0 BRA, 39'

• 9 Dec 2022, 09:04:37 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Score: A bit rough out there!

  Brozovic fouls Neymar and goes into the book. Brazil act quickly and take the free-kick as Croatia argue with the ref, but it only leads to a tussle between Lovren and Richarlison. A little ragged from Brazil there. CRO 0-0 BRA 32'

• 9 Dec 2022, 09:01:03 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Updates: Foul and free-kick

  Nice pressure applied by the Brazilian midfielders and the side eventually earns a free-kick. Quite far off the goal, however, and the move eventually goes into vain. CRO 0-0 BRA 28'

• 9 Dec 2022, 08:55:37 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Score: First yellow card

  Danilo goes into the book for a dangerous challenge on Juranovic. The defender needs to be careful here. Free kick for Croatia and Modric is behind the ball. The angle is quite tight and Modric justifiably sends the ball into centre, but Brazil's defence stands tall and the side eventually earns a free kick. CRO 0-0 BRA 25'

• 9 Dec 2022, 08:54:07 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Quarter-Finals: Brazil growing into the game

  This time, Casemiro attempts a shot. Poor attempt, though, as the ball goes wide off the right post. Neymar not happy as he had an opening in the middle with only two Croatian defenders in front. CRO 0-0 BRA 22'

• 9 Dec 2022, 08:52:18 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Score: Brilliant one-two there!

  A bit of brilliance by Vinicius Jr. and Neymar there. Neymar starts the attack from the middle with Vinicius making a quick sprint on the left. The Brazil star releases the ball and Vinicius cuts back brilliantly, passes on to Neymar who then gives the ball back with an opening for the Brazilian youngster.

  Equally good defence from Croatia, though, as the attack is safely negotiated in the end. CRO 0-0 BRA 20'

• 9 Dec 2022, 08:47:49 PM IST

  FIFA World Cup Live Score: 15 minutes up

  Croatia comfortably on top. Brazil may have had the first shot of the match but it has been Croatia all along since. Perisic had almost given the side a lead early in the game had the pass not gone behind the player. CRO 0-0 BRA 16'

  Croatia vs Brazil Live Updates: Good start for Croatia

  Perisic crosses but there is nobody at the centre to receive it. Croatia, however, have made a strong start to the game, especially on the wings. Some good run-ins from the Croatian attackers so far. CRO 0-0 BRA, 10'

• 9 Dec 2022, 08:36:04 PM IST

  Croatia vs Brazil Live Score: First shot of the game!

  And that comes from Vinicius Jr. Not much power in the shot, though, as he attempts it from 25 yards. Easy pick for Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic
