The match could not deliver a clear winner after the first 90 minutes, and headed into extra time. Croatia would have conceded a few had it not been for the heroics of their goalkeeper, Dominik Livakovic, who has denied Neymar four times in the match. He has made more saves in the match than Brazil’s goalkeeper Alisson Becker has in the entire tournament.
