Brazil dumped out of World Cup by Croatia as players left in tears

World Cup favourites Brazil have been sensationally dumped out of the World Cup by Croatia.

The Croatians won 4-2 on penalties after the game finished 1-1 in extra time. Neymar thought he'd won the match in the 106th minute with a sublime goal to break the deadlock but Bruno Petkovic dramatically leveled 10 minutes later.

It sent the game to a penalty shootout, with Croatia nailing all four of their penalties and Brazil missing two.

When Marquinhos hit the post with Brazil's fourth penalty, it saw Brazil's players slump to their knees, with many in tears.
