Brazil vs Croatia, 2022 World Cup quarter-final went into extra time on Friday, with the two sides locked at 0-0 after 90 minutes.

Through a tense opening half there was nothing to separate the Brazilians and their 2018 runners-up opponents, with both sides enjoying half chances in a free-flowing game, but nothing clear-cut.

Both Neymar and Vinicius had the half-chances to put their teams ahead but their end products weren't on the money. The first-half ended with the scoreboard reading 0-0.

Even in the second-half, neither team could break the deadlock, forcing the game into extra-time. Right on the store of the mid-way mark of the extra-time, Neymar's brilliance put Brazil ahead 1-0.

But right at the dying moments Petkovic scored an equaliser at the 117 minute of the match making it 1-1 again.

Now we head into the penalty shootout with a 2022 World Cup Semi final spot at stakes.
