News: Brazil sneaks into quarterfinals on penalties #WorldCup2014: Brazil 1-1 Chile (3-2 on pens)

Brazil is through into the World Cup quarterfinals after an incredible penalty shootout win over Chile in Belo Horizonte. An incredibly tight game went right to the wire, with Gonzalo Jara's penalty miss sending the Roja out, and the Seleção through.

The game was rather scrappy in its opening exchanges, though it didn't take long for Brazil to assert themselves as the greater attacking threat. By the time they took the lead they'd already gone close through a Marcelo attempt from the edge of the box, and had a good penalty shout turned down after Hulk was tripped by Mauricio Isla.

It took just 18 minutes before the opening goal came, and unsurprisingly it was the result of Brazil capitalising on their big height advantage on a set piece. A corner from Neymar was flicked on by Thiago Silva at the near post, and conveniently right into the path of a lurking David Luiz. Despite pressure from Gonzalo Jara, the defender poked the ball into an empty net to break the deadlock.

Brazil looked fairly comfortable after taking the lead, and largely coped with Chile's high pressing with dangerous long balls up to Neymar. That was until Hulk made a catastrophic giveaway in his own third just past the half-hour, which allowed Alexis Sánchez to pounce on a loose ball in the penalty area and slot past Júlio César for 1-1.

Neymar scored the winning penalty Saturday to give Brazil a 3-2 shootout win over Chile in the second round of the World Cup. The match had ended 1-1.

Neymar scored the third penalty after David Luiz and Marcelo also scored from the spot.

Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar saved the first two penalties and watched Gonzalo Jara's final attempt hit the post.

Brazil will next face either Colombia or Uruguay in the quarterfinals.
