Croats reached the semi-finals.
On Friday, December 9, in the 1/4 finals of the 2022 World Cup in football, Qatar met the national teams of Croatia and Brazil.
The first half of the match took place in an equal struggle with almost no moments. In the second half, the Croatian veterans began to tire, and the Brazilians picked up the pace and began to threaten the Croatian goal.
The Croatian footballers were patient and managed to move the match into extra time. In overtime, the Brazilians continued to attack and at the end of the first 15 minutes, Neymar came face to face with Livakovic and managed to outplay him.
When it seemed that the Croatians no longer had enough strength to fight back, Petkovic said his word , who, after a pass from Oršić, punched Alison into touch.
The fate of the match was decided in a series of post-match penalties, in which the Croats won again – Dalić's wards made all their shots, while Rodrigo and Marquinhos did not score for the Brazilians.
