Quarter-final round

Referee: England's Michael Oliver

After 120 close minutes, in which the two teams tied 1-1 after extra time, the quarter-final match went to a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, the Croatian national team succeeded in "conquering" Brazil, thanks to the brilliant goalkeeper Dominic Levakovic, who blocked Rodrigo's kick, as the kicks ended 4-2 for Croatia.

Brazilian defender Marquinhos missed the decisive penalty kick, sending Croatia to the semi-finals, awaiting the winner from the Argentina-Netherlands meeting later on Friday. After the end of normal time with a 0-0 draw, the Brazilian team advanced with a wonderful goal by Neymar, in the last minute of the first extra period.

But Croatia snatched the equalizer in the 117th minute, while Brazil was heading for victory, thanks to a goal by substitute striker Bruno Petkovic.
