While “World Cup’s hottest fan” Ivana Knoll trolled Richarlison and Co by performing a rendition of his pigeon celebration.
Skipper Neymar was also overcome by emotion, before hinting that his international career could be over.

But Bruno Petkovic responded with three minutes left to play to send it to penalties.
And misses from Rodrygo and Marquinhos, while Croatia scored all four of their spot-kicks, meant Brazil were sent packing.
