Croatia vs Brazil Highlights FIFA World Cup 2022: Croatia beat Brazil on penalties to qualify for semi-finals

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.

CROATIA DO IT YET AGAIN! BRAZIL ARE OUT! Marquinhos slams the penalty onto the left post and Croatia qualify for the semi-finals. What a match this was. Absolute heartbreak for Brazil

Touches the side netting, that one. CRO 4-2 BRA

Pedro scores as he goes through the left corner, sending Croatian goalkeeper down the wrong side. CRO 3-2 BRA

As you'd expect, Modric has scored for Croatia. CRO 3-1 BRA

Calm and composed kick from Casemiro as he scores the first goal for Brazil in the shootout. CRO 2-1 BRA

No doublt about that. Straight down the middle, no chance for Alisson

RODRYGO MISSES! CROATIA 1-0 BRAZIL

Livakovic continues to have a stellar night 

Alisson fails to save the first kick.

As Sir Alex Ferguson says, ‘Football, Bloody Hell!’

Livakovic has been immense for Croatia tonight. 11th save for him in this game as he keeps Croatia afloat.

WE ARE GOING INTO PENALTIES!

If there isn't a goal now, we are going to penalty kicks!

CROATIA HAS SCORED! WITH FOUR MINUTES LEFT IN EXTRA TIME! Bruno Petkovic has scored the equalizer for Croatia and is later booked for removing his shirt in the celebration. CRO 1-1 BRA

But Gvardiol remains alert in one-on-one, even if he is hurt in the process. Rodrygo releases the ball brilliantly for Neymar as the latter chases the delivery, but Gvardiol remains a tad bit ahead and eventually makes the interception. CRO 0-1 BRA, 108'

Eder Militao and Paqueta out; Alex Sandro and Fred in

Brazil are 15 minutes away from a place in the semi-finals

NEYMAR BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! THE BRAZILIAN STAR RISES TO THE OCCASION!

Neymar exchanges passes with Rodrygo and Pedro, then powers into the box and beats Livakovic with a sensational finish near the goalline! He equals Pele's all-time Brazilian record with his 77th goal for the country

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.

Update: WHAT A MISS! Brozovic had a clear chance at the goal but he smashes it wide over the goalpost. Poor miss! CRO 0-0 BRA 102'

Brazil have been all over Croatia in the first half of extra time so far but they just can't find an opening. Kudos to Croatia, however, as their defending has been compact. CRO 0-0 BRA, 98'

And he's certainly not very happy about it. He gets into a one-on-one with Sosa again and this time, gets a full body blow. Antony waves his arm towards the referee but to no avail. CRO 0-0 BRA 95'

Danilo launches a ball down the right, and Antony further pressures Croatian defender Sosa. He releases Neymar who then passes to Pedro, but the header is weak. Goal kick. CRO 0-0 BRA, 92'

Brazil kicks off the first half of extra time

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!

But there's hardly any power in the shot. Easy collection for the goalkeeper!

And that remains the final kick! We are going into extra time!

Four minutes added for injury time
