FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar: Croatia vs Brazil Full Highlights

• Croatia wins the exciting match against Brazil

• Bruno Petkovic scored an equaliser with just a few minutes left

The thrilling match between Croatia and Brazil was decided by penalty kicks, and Croatia advanced to the semifinals of the current FIFA World Cup 2022. In the quarterfinal match between Brazil and Croatia, Croatia did an excellent job in the first half of the game to neutralise Brazil’s powerful attacking force. This allowed Croatia to advance to the next round of the competition. Both Neymar and Vinicius had chances to put their respective sides ahead, but their most recent attempts were off target, and as a result, their clubs were unable to score a goal.

The score was tied at zero on the scoreboard as the first half of the game came to a close. Because neither team was able to break the deadlock during the second half, the contest had to go into overtime. Neymar’s outstanding performance gave Brazil a 1-0 lead right on the cusp of the halfway point in the additional round of play. There were only a few minutes left on the clock when Bruno Petkovic scored the goal that tied the game, making the score 1-1. Because of this, the winner of the match would be determined through a penalty shootout.

The Croatian national football team has now won the World Cup a record four times thanks to their stellar performance in penalty shootouts. It was a heartbreaking loss for Brazil, and they will surely come to regret the fact that they did not see out the game after taking the lead in extra time.
