The dramatic 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-final between Brazil and Croatia is second on the list of the most-watched live streams in YouTube history.
On 9 December 2022 in Qatar, Croatia took on football powerhouse Brazil in a thrilling World Cup quarter-final. Croatia came back from a goal down in extra time to eventually win 4-2 on penalties.
