克罗地亚、阿根廷晋级!巴西无缘半决赛
Croatia advanced to the 2022 FIFA World Cup semifinals by defeating Brazil 4-2 in a dramatic penalty shootout on Friday. Argentina beat the Netherlands 4-3 in a penalty shootout Friday, with Messi converting his attempt and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez making two saves.
克罗地亚vs巴西
Neymar had a shot blocked by Josko Gvardiol and the Brazil No 10 was again denied shortly after when he combined with Richarlison only to see his effort rebound out of play off Livakovic's right leg. Croatia were suddenly forced to defend deeper as Brazil pushed forward with greater intensity. Neymar was again involved when he threaded a pass to Paqueta, whose clipped effort was swiped clear by Livakovic. The Croatia keeper was in inspired form, repeatedly repelling Brazil's goalward efforts. Neymar and Paqueta were both denied by the Dinamo Zagreb player as the South American side peppered his goal in the final minutes.
Neymar appeared to put the South American team on course for victory with a superb 106th-minute strike after a driving run in the quarterfinal at Education City stadium. But Croatia substitute Bruno Petkovic equalized with a left-footed shot that deflected in off Marquinhos with four minutes of extra time remaining.
Mislav Orsic, Luka Modric, Lovro Majer and Nikola Vlasic converted each of Croatia's spot kicks in the shootout. Rodrygo's feeble first attempt was saved by Dominik Livakovic before Pedro and Casemiro held their nerve only for Marquinhos to send his team's fourth penalty crashing against the left post.
Neymar's strike saw him equal Pele as Brazil's all-time leading scorer but it will be of little consolation for the 30-year-old, who admitted last month that this could be his last chance to win football's ultimate prize.

The match finished 2-2 and was only taken to extra time after the Netherlands equalized in the 11th minute of second-half stoppage time with the second of substitute Wout Weghorst's two goals. Before that, Messi had set up the opening goal by Nahuel Molina in the 35th before converting a penalty to make it 2-0.
Enzo Fernandez hit the post near the end of extra time and was the only Argentina player to fail to score in the shootout. Martinez's saves were from attempts by Virgil van Dijk and Steven Berghuis, after which he pulled his shorts high and danced a jig.
It is only the second time Argentina has reached the last four since 1990. In 2014, Messi was part of the team that lost to Germany in the final. He looks in the mood to get there again in a tournament that he is turning into his own personal highlight reel.
His penalty was his fourth goal of the tournament, taking him to 10 overall in the World Cup — tied with Gabriel Batistuta for the most for Argentina. Messi now has 94 goals in total in his 169 international games.
The game featured 17 yellow cards — a record for a World Cup game — including one for Messi.
