Croatia knock out Brazil 4-2 on penalties

The penalty professionals Croatia reach the semi-finals with yet another victory after spot-kicks. They are simply masters of the dreaded shoot-outs, having won all four of theirs at the World Cup now.

Neymar, who didn't even have chance to take a penalty after saving himself for the fifth one, thought he'd fired Brazil through after taking the lead.

However, Petkovic popped up with an equaliser minutes before the end of extra time.

And the rest was left to Croatians at the penalty spot, reports National News.
