Croatia dump Brazil out of World Cup

Croatia beat Brazil on penalties to reach the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup.

Dominik Livakovic saved Rodrygo's first penalty and Marquinhos hit the post to give Croatia a 4-2 shootout win after their quarter-final clash finished level at 1-1.

After a scoreless 90 minutes, Brazil took a 1-0 lead with a bit of extra time solo magic from Neymar but gritty Croatia refused to quit, with Bruno Petkovic equalising in the 117th minute to send the contest to penalties.

Croatia now await the winner of Argentina and the Netherlands who clash later on Friday.
