Brazil and Croatia have advanced to the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar as the victors of two very different matches.
The Croatians beat Japan 3-1 in a penalty shootout after their match at the Al Janoub Stadium ended in a 1-1 draw.
But in the later match, Brazil put in what might be the most confident team performance of the competition so far to ease into the last eight with a 4-1 win against South Korea at Stadium 974.
