Brazil’s run to the 2022 World Cup final ended in a thriller on Friday after Croatia pulled off a stunning upset in a penalty-kick shootout to advance to the semifinals.
The emotional loss capped a tense match that saw Neymar add another accolade to his already pristine résumé by tying Pelé’s all-time men’s national team scoring record (77) with a goal in the 106th minute. The 30-year-old superstar was visibly distraught and had to be consoled by teammates as Brazil exited the pitch in Qatar.
