Luka Modrić, quoted by ESPN
We almost lost when they scored. Everyone buried us, but once again we showed that we never give up. Of course, before the World Cup no one would bet on us, no one predicted that we could get this far. The important thing is that we had faith, confidence, and we have a real team again with very good young people. This win will surely give us more confidence for what lies ahead.

The main time of the meeting ended in a 0-0 draw. In the extra 30 minutes the teams hit each other's net once. Neymar scored for Brazil, while Bruno Petković scored for Croatia. In the penalty shootout the Croats were stronger - 4-2. Zlatko Dalić's team will play against the winner of the Argentina vs the Netherlands in the semifinals.
