Allen: Croatia eliminated five-time champions Brazil from the World Cup on Friday with a 4-2 quarter-final penalty shootout victory over five-time champions Brazil.
Rodrygo’s penalty was saved by Croatia goalkeeper Dominic Livakovic before Marquinhos hit the post.
Neymar gave Brazil the lead late in the first half of extra time, but Croatia equalized after Bruno Petkovic scored in the 117th minute.
Neymar’s goal allowed him to tie Pele with 77 goals and become Brazil’s all-time top scorer.
Croatia will next face either Argentina or the Netherlands.
