But with a few minutes to go, Bruno Petkovic grabbed a deflected equaliser to force the quarter-final clash to penalties.

Croatia won the shootout 4-2, sending the South American side packing.

Zlatko Dalic’s side have now reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in back-to-back tournaments.

And they’ll face one of Argentina or Holland for a spot in the final next Tuesday.

There were wild scenes in the Croatia capital of Zagreb, with fans watching on from a Christmas market.

As Marquinhos missed the deciding spot-kick, flares and smoke were set off and screams of jubilation could be heard.

Fans hugged each other and celebrated wildly.

The defeat also spelled the end of Tite’s reign as Brazil manager.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP

He confirmed he was stepping down from his role following the early World Cup exit.

He said: “As I said, my cycle is over. I said it over a year and a half ago. I’m not a man of two words.”;

On the opposite side of the knockout tree, dark horses Morocco take on Portugal in a 3pm kick-off on Saturday.

World Cup holders France will then try and fend off England later that night.
