QATAR – The very compact Croatian team today deflated Brazil, one of the most promising team in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, sending them packing on 4-2, following penalty kick.

Both teams proved themselves equal to the task in the first 90 minutes, ending full time scores at nil nil, forcing the encounter into extra time.

But it was in the 105^th minutes that the tournament favourite took the lead through Neymar, following fine assist from Paqueta and it seems certain that Brazil will carry the day until the 117^th minute slip in the defence line up of Brazil.

Perkovic took advantage of the hiccup after connecting a pass from Orsic to bring his team back into the game, which eventually ended in favour of Croatia.
