Fred flops to win shocking penalty
Stipe Pletikosa almost came up with a brilliant save, but he couldn't keep Neymar's shot out. It just barely got by the Croatia goalkeeper's outstretched hands.
And with that, Croatia are in a hole and have to chase the game. And given how well they’ve played in the second half, it’s an extremely unlucky situation. They were reeling from about 20 minutes onward in the first half, but they’ve been extremely well organized in the second half and have been keeping Brazil at bay. The foul count, by the way? 18 for Croatia, 3 for Brazil. Yikes.
Croatia did look dangerous when they did have to attack in the first 11 minutes, though, and Brazil have made a couple of aggressive substitutions. Is there more drama to come?
