ᑕ❶ᑐ Neymar’s incredible feat in Brazil and World Cup loss to Croatia
Neymar’s aspirations to lead Brazil to triumph at the 2022 FIFA World Cup came to an end on Friday, only for the Croatia national team to send the CONMEBOL side home via a penalty shootout victory . At least Neymar managed to make history in the World Cup knockout game.
Neymar scored Brazil’s only goal of the contest, as he completed a fierce shot attempt in the first period of extra time to give the Selecao a 1-0 lead. With this goal, the Paris Saint-Germain star joined Ronaldo in becoming the only Brazilian player to score at least two goals in three different World Cups.
