The Brazilian ace had to wait until extra time to set this record, in a game that seemed destined to reach the final frontier with a goalless draw.

One of the most coveted goalscoring records for a national team has to be the one involving Brazil. The team's legacy and tradition has always seen the owner of that record as one of the best in the world, and now, that honor is being shared between Pelé and none other than Neymar.

PSG's ace gave Brazil the lead during the first half of the extra time, scoring with a delightful finish after a one-two with one of his teammates. Once in front of goal, Neymar dribbled past Croatia's goalkeeper to hit the roof of the net with his shot.

Neymar's 77th goal for A Canarinha gave their fans some hope to reach the next round, but a late goal by Bruno Petkovic sent the game to a penalty shootout, where Croatia extended their impressive record in World Cup matches and Brazil carried on with their curse against European teams.
