Croatia refuse Brazil an extra-time ending
Neymar put Brazil ahead in extra time before Petković equalised. Croatia then won the shoot-out 4–2, eliminating Brazil and reaching a second consecutive semi-final. The match offers a sharp distinction between the volume of attacking opportunities and the final outcome: Brazil's larger on-target total did not secure progression.
