Croatia beats Brazil in penalty shootout

Doha, The Gulf Observer: Croatian have knocked out tournament favourites Brazil from the World Cup. For Brazil, it is quarter-final elimination yet again for the fourth time in their last five World Cups.

Livakovic in goal for Croatia was once again brilliant. He will likely be a contender for the best goalkeeper of the World Cup award.

That’s four World Cup wins in penalty shootouts for the Croatians, who are peerless from 12 yards. Gut-wrenching for Brazil and they will rue not seeing this game out after taking the lead in extra time.
