The world of football were left stunned following the exit of five-time Champions, Brazil from the ongoing Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil were looking to win the competition for the sixth time after they won it last at the 2002 World Cup which was hosted in South Korea and Japan. Croatia came into the game wanting to better their record at the Russia 2018 World Cup.
The game was lit up in the first half of the extra time when Neymar opened the scoring to equal Pele's goal-scoring record for Brazil. However, Croatia came back into the game with less than five minutes to go with the goal from Bruno Petkovic before beating the Brazilians 4-2 on penalties.

#Brazil tactically lost the match before the PK shoot out.
Seeing a 37yr old Modric pull the strings in the MF was beautiful to watch. But it gave Tite out as a poor tactician.
T’was obvious a ball winner was needed to supply the strikers and reduce Modric’s influence.#CROBRA pic.twitter.com/HvTe6BFl6I— Ojora Babatunde (@ojbsports) December 9, 2022Hot stories
