Croatia beat Brazil also on penalties after the score was level in extra time and what was extraordinary was the Croatian goalkeeper keeping out two spot-kicks from Brazilians Rodrygo and Marquinhos. This means that Croatia and Argentina both qualified for the next round after winning the match on penalties and this result will bring them together in the semi-finals of the world cup this time. The Argentina vs Croatia match in the semi-finals can also be very fierce because they will definitely both try to win so they can reach the Qatar 2022 world cup final.
Croatian goalkeeper did not keep out the penalty by Marquinhos because the penalty kick was hit the post. What I dont understand about the penalty strategy by Brazil is that why Neymar did not take the 1st attempt. He is one of the most experienced penalty taker in the team, 1st attempt is very important and it should be taken by one of the most experienced player and players who have the best winning mentality. Was Neymar not confidence enough to take the 1st penalty kick or it is because of the decision made by the coach?
