Brazil’s hope of winning a sixth World Cup has fallen into the mud after losing to Croatia on penalties in the quarter-finals.
The Selecao since the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup have been one of the favourites to win the tournament.
Unfortunately, their journey has been ended by a determined Croatian side that fought to stay in the quarter-final contest throughout the 120 minutes on Friday, December 9.
In the game today, neither Brazil nor Croatia did enough to win at the end of the 90 minutes
After the goalless draw, the game travelled to extra time where both sides managed to score a goal each.
It was Brazil that took the lead in the 105th minute when poster boy Neymar got the ball into the net of Croatia's net to complete a well-worked team move.
Unfortunately, for the Samba Boys, they could not hold onto the lead. A strike from Bruno Petković four minutes before the end of the match restored parity to the game.
At the end of the penalty shootout, Croatia won 4-2 to progress to the semi-finals of the tournament.
Brazil are out and will have to wait for the next four years to try again for the sixth world title.
