Croatia versus Brazil

The Croatian team has a history of deciding matches on penalties. In 2018 they won on penalties in the knockout stage twice and the round of 16 match against Japan also went all the way. This game against Brazil stayed 0-0 after 90 minutes. When Neymar scored in the first half of extra time, it looked like the Brazilians got through to the semis. If it wasn’t for Croatian resilience, which brought them an equalizer late in the second half of extra time. Brazil immediately missed the first penalty, after Croatia scored their first four, Marquinhos’ miss was enough for Croatia to win their fourth consecutive penalty shootout.

Netherlands versus Argentina

This quarter final started slow, but one genius pass by Messi got Argentina the 1-0 lead. Now the Netherlands had to push forward a bit more, which left space behind their defense. A foul by Denzel Dumfries led to a penalty for Argentina. Lionel Messi netted the penalty bringing his team in the semi-final. Two late goals completely changed the match. With a 2-2 score the match went into extra time. In the end it turned out on penalties, which Argentina took much better. The dream of Messi finally winning the World Cup for his country is still alive!
