Brazil have crashed out of FIFA World Cup 2022 after a defeat to Croatia.
Newsone reports Brazil were eliminated from the 2022 World Cup after they lost in a penalty shoot-out to Croatia on Friday, December 9, 2022.
This online news platform understands that Brazil came in the first quarter-final tie as hot favourites, having seen off South Korea 4-1 in the previous round but struggled to break through Croatia’s defence and when they did, Dominik Livakovic produced excellent saves to keep his team in it.
Newsone Nigeria reports that PSG’s Neymar eventually broke the deadlock in the first half of extra time for the Selecao, finishing off another fine team move.
There was late drama with Bruno Petkovic’s deflected effort making it 1-1. The game went to penalties, where Rodrygo and Marquinhos missed from 12 yards.
Meanwhile, Newsone reports that Croatia will now face the winner of Argentina vs Netherlands in the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
