    Jurgen Klinsmann
    Former Germany head coach on BBC One

    Brazil didn't go enough for a second goal - just finish it off!

    They let Croatia back in the game.

    Now the mindset of Brazil is difficult to read - momentum is back with Croatia.

    Fans

    Over to Croatia fans in Zagreb.

    Tonko: "It was going really bad for us until we scored. But we've just got one in. And Croatia shine at penalties."

    Duje: "We are going to win. It's going well, we're going to make it."

    Seems like Croat confidence is high in Zagreb, but how about in Doha...

    Seems like an apt time to point you in the direction of m'colleague Emlyn Begley's recent piece on how to take a penalty in a shootout.

    You can read that here ahead of the drama.

    Matt: What were Brazil doing?! 3 minutes away and they’re pushed up to the half way line and the right back is caught further forward than that! Stupidity. You deserve to be eliminated for that.

    SJ: Croatia not following the script.

    PENALTIES!

    Brazil thought they had won it.

    Croatia never thought they had lost it.

    Let's see who can keep their cool in the most stressful of situations at a World Cup...

    Here is a chance!

    Casemiro pops up in space at the far post and shoots straight at Croatia keeper Dominik Livakovic.

    Phew...

  9. INJURY TIMEpublished at 120 mins

    Croatia 1-1 Brazil

    Two more minutes of football to be played.

    Two more minutes for a winner to be found.

    Two more minutes until, gulp, penalties.

    Croatia have a pot-shot but there is no trouble whatsoever for Alisson.

    It is the Croatia fans who are dancing now, in their tiny pocket of the stadium.

    The rest of this place is still silent, in stunned disbelief.

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It’s taken a while for this game to get going but it has finally got going.

    The Brazilians only have themselves to blame, they are taking short corners, they are trying to waste time.

    Croatia have had so few chances, they finally got one.

    Are we going to have another twist in the tale? Surely not.

    Croatia 1-1 Brazil

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    They just don't go away. They've got spirit, fight and quality.

    It takes a tiny deflection that takes it past Alisson.

    Who would have seen this coming?

    GOAL - Croatia 1-1 Brazilpublished at 116 mins

    Bruno Petkovic

    THEY HAVE NOW!!

    Croatia equalise with their first shot on target as super-sub Bruno Petkovic sweeps home from 16 yards with the help of a slight deflection off Marquinhos.

    Absolute incredible scenes.

    Not sure who is the more stunned: Croatia's celebrating fans or Brazil's broken ones.

    Football, eh?!

    Croatia still haven't had a shot on target...

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 114 mins

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    Another Croatia change. Borna Sosa, who has been getting roasted by the excellent Antony, is replaced by Osasuna forward Ante Budomir.

  18. Postpublished at 113 mins

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    Who'd have money on Antony outmuscling Ivan Perisic shoulder to shoulder? Not me.

    But that's what happens as the Brazil player ensures his side earn a goal-kick.

    Croatia are having a lot of the ball. Whether they can do anything with it is another question.

    Get it in the box! Croatia go short from that corner and waste their territory.
