The first quarterfinal fixture of the FIFA World Cup 2022 kicked off between Brazil and Croatia at the Education City Stadium on Friday and fans gathered in numbers to witness the iconic fixture. A fan was spotted wearing a sparkling jersey of Brazil legend Pele to support Seleção Canarinho.

At the halftime, both Brazil and Croatia failed to score a goal despite the former's striking efforts. Brazil managed a slight edge over Croatia in possession and attempted three shots on target while Croatia were unable to register a single shot on target.

Before the match, a Slovakian fan was spotted wearing a sparkling jersey of the three-time World Cup winner Pele as others gathered to click pictures.
