    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    But first Croatia make a change. Mateo Kovacic is replaced by attacking midfielder Lovro Majer.

    Oh, and by the way, Brazil brought on Alex Sandro and Fred before the second half of extra time.

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    This could be Luka Modric's last World Cup game. He isn't willing to let it be.

    The Croatia captain twists and turns near the goal-line on the left and wins a corner...

    Ivan Perisic swings in a ball from the left, but Brazil head clear.

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    Croatia aren't ready to throw in the towel yet, not on this evidence. They are still gamely knocking the ball about and chasing every loose ball like it is their last.

    Marc: Who said Brazil didn't have a superstar??

    Billy: Nothing more than Brazil deserved, not sure Neymar deserved it but that’s what the big players do.

    Andy: Big players produce the big moments in the biggest games..and there aren't many bigger than Neymar

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    Like Alex Scott pointed out, the Croatia players looked broken after the goal.

    There must have been two and a bit minutes between Brozovic's miss and Neymar's goal.

    Jurgen Klinsmann
    Former Germany head coach on BBC One

    Those are the difference makers in this tournament. It's going to be very difficult for Croatia to equalise.

    He goes into that run not knowing where he will end up! But those are the difference makers - they just give it a try. These are things you cannot teach.

    Alex Scott
    Former England and Arsenal defender on BBC One

    We got some entertainment! Neymar produced a bit of magic. Of all the people for it to fall to, it had to be him.

    Every Croatian player looked distraught - only Lovren was saying we go again.

  10. Neymar equals Pele's recordpublished at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2022

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    That goal by Neymar was also historic.

    The Brazil forward has just equalled Pele as Brazil's all-time men's top scorer with 77 Fifa-registered goals.

    Neymar was buried in a mountain of Brazil players and substitutes when he celebrated his goal, and was then individually hugged by everyone.

    In the stands, the emotion is pure relief at the moment... the big screens at the stadium are showing Brazil fans with big smiles on their faces - and there is lots of dancing going on.

  12. HALF-TIME - EXTRA-TIMEpublished at 17:16 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2022

    Croatia 0-1 Brazil

    Brazil are just 15 minutes - just 15 long, agonising minutes - away from the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    Finally, one of the best players in the world turns up.

    What a goal that is. He has one thing in his mind to drive through the heart of Croatia.

    The balance, the composure, the brilliance - it has not been there all night, but when it mattered he delivered.

    GOAL - Croatia 0-1 Brazilpublished at 105+1 mins

    Neymar

    Big players show up at big moments.

    Neymar, who has been off-key today, fires Brazil into the lead with virtually the last kick of the first half of extra time.

    The PSG forward shows desire and determination to break through the Croatia defence, picking up a return ball to dance around the keeper and fire into the roof of the net.

    Brazilian bedlam!

    Feels like there is a stunned silence in the stadium after that Brozovic miss.

    Got to hit the target. Got to. No excuse.

    Usually Brozovic is so cool, calm and collected in the middle of the park.

    When that was needed, he snatched at it.

    Croatia 0-0 Brazil

    What a chance for Croatia!!

    Blimey.

    Substitute Bruno Petkovic does superbly on the left, skipping through the Brazil defence and passing square to the supporting Marcelo Brozovic.

    A gap opens... he has time... but he blasts over!!

    Incredible.

    Big tackle from Dejan Lovren! The Croatia centre-back breaks up a Brazil attack like prime Moore on Pele and suddenly Croatia are off on the counter...
