Brazil Knocked Out Of World Cup As Croatia Secures Penalty Win

By Newsroom

In a twist of events, Brazil has suffered a stunning defeat as Croatia cruises into the Semifinal round of the World Cup, winning the match which rolled into extra minutes on a 4-2 penalty score.

The main time of the match ended with a score of 0-0, so two additional halves of 15 minutes were appointed to determine the winner.

At the end of the first one, Brazilian striker Neymar scored off an assist from Lucas Paquet.

The goal was Neymar’s 77th as a member of the national team, equaling Pelé’s record. Three minutes into the second extra half, the Croats got back into the game thanks to an accurate shot by Petković.

In the penalty shoot-out the Croatian national team players were more accurate, as they realized all of their 11-meter attempts.

Croatian goalkeeper Levaković saved one shot.

Friday’s start to the Quarterfinals continues as Argentina faces off with the Netherlands in a 3pm match.
