The quarter-final match of the World Cup will be played on Friday, December 9, in which Croatia and Brazil will compete. The match will be played in Er Rayyan (Qatar), on the field of the “Education City” stadium, starting at 17:00.
Five-time world champions, who have not known victories at the world championships for 20 years, against the finalists of the last draw, who were as close to success as possible, but the miracle did not happen. No one has bet on Zlatko Dalic’s team to determine the quarter-finalists before the start of the tournament, but the Croatian team has reached a very high level. Now the “checkers” must jump over their heads or leave the tournament one step away from the semi-finals.
