End Of Road For Brazil After Being Eliminated From Reaching Semi Finals In World Cup Qualifiers

Brazil is the first of the remaining eight teams to be eliminated from the World Cup.

Brazil’s performance in the game started slowly as Croatia continuously created more chances.

Raphinha appeared off during the game, indicating that things were not going well for him. Richarlison’s normal level of quality was also missing.

As a result, they were replaced early in the competition. The midfield duo of Matteo Kovacic and Luka Modric, on the other hand, won the midfield fight as Croatia got off to a great start.

The first half finished in a 0:0 deadlock since no team was able to break the tie. The second half, particularly for Croatia, featured a few optimistic moments, but it was not to be. There was no goal at full-time.

However, Bruno Petkovic tied the game before the end of the extra period, forcing a penalty shootout. Croatia ended up winning 4-2 on penalties against Brazil.
