A new definition from the penalty spot has left Croatia alive in their World Cup dream and they have left Brazil on the road after equalizing 1-1 in regulation time
In the Education City Stadium has lived a partidazo in research of the first semifinalist of the Glass of the World. Brazil and Croatia measured strengths in the quarter-finals in a party that was going up the decibeles of emotion with the happen of the minutes and that contested until the last second of the extention to define in batch of penaltis, where Livakovic went back to get dressed of hero.
Croatia was, of beginning, a very difficult puzzle of descifrar for Brazil, because it planted face like few selections in what it goes of the Glass of the World. Comandados By a Livakovic exceptional, the ones of Dalic put problems to a 'canarinha' that showed his more uncomfortable version, but that did not lose the course of the party in the middle of the difficulties.
Brazil did not expect a so contested party and a centre of the field so very planted like the one of Croatia, that grieve was leaving that Casemiro or Paquetá connected with the line of attack. The ones of 'Tite' cost of the individual actions and the confined of Neymar or Vinicius to approach to the rival area, but without the feeling of danger that had showed against South Korea.
The ones of Dalic gave the feeling, of beginning, to know how dominate the meeting, although all his progressions remained in at all when they arrived to zone of three chambers. Brazil, by his part, based his attack in the apparitions of a 'Vini' that tested with a far shot that trapped without problems Livakovic in the 5' or a finish that taponó Gvardiol.
Livakovic, intractable!
It was in the beginning of the second half when the ones of Tite left the feeling of comfort and freshness that was missing them in the first 45'. In fact, Livakovic avoided the 0-1 when they went only two minutes: Miltao put a centre that touched in a defence and the guardameta took part of surprise to leave his arch in zero. In the reaction, Croatia did not clear well and 'Vini' sent a powerful shot, but the guardameta deprived to the madridista of the celebration.
Livakovic Dressed of star -again- to save to his in front of the shot of Neymar, that received the balloon inside the area to pass of Richarlison. The one of the PSG tried to threaten to the guardameta, but put the padlock in his goal. The command of the Brazilians, to this point, was absolute, but the goalkeeper of the guardameta of Dinamo Zagreb went back to appear with solvency, that dressed of hero to deny him the shot to Paquetá.
Definition in penaltis
It was precisely the guardameta Croatian the one who commissioned that the party went to extention. It went back to rescue to his, that had not tested at least to Alisson under the three sticks. It could not 'hold' more until the apparition of a Neymar Jr, that initiated a played sensacional and started with several walls. The last was with Paquetá so that he same recortara to the invincible Livakovic and defined by the high to put the 0-1.
The Brazilians, in the middle of the party for being by in front, no percataron that Croatia followed very alive and that put a lot muscle in the centre of the field, in addition to that believed to the end to force the penaltis: Luka Modric began a big played so that Orsic did party by the right side and put it backwards for the arrival of a Petkovic that finished of left-handed. Marquinhos Touched for despistar to Alisson and colara in the goal and force some penaltis in which Croatia sentenced to the 'canarinha'.
