Watch the moment Croatia beat Brazil in the FIFAWorldCup quarter finals
The 2018 runners-up came through their second straight shootout after beating Japan on penalties in the last 16 and will now face either the Netherlands or Argentina, who were playing each other in the later game.
But Brazil were punished for letting their guard down, with substitute Bruno Petkovic drilling in an 117th-minute equaliser with their one and only shot on target, breaking Brazilian hearts in the Education City Stadium. "This is just for the Croatian people," said coach Zlatko Dalic. "A great match from the first minute to the last. We eliminated the biggest favourites. This is not the end for us, let's keep going."
"I am overjoyed that we, with a 3-1/2 million population, are entering the semi-finals for the second time in a row. I will tell everyone now to say 'We are not normal'."Croatia refused to be intimidated by their more illustrious opponents, and in the first half successfully stifled most Brazil moves.
