A controversial penalty called on Croatia at 68:50 of the second half in their Group A match with Brazil at the 2014 World Cup resulted in a penalty kick and goal by Neymar to give Brazil a 2-1 lead.

Fred was brought down inside the box by Dejan Lovren as he was attempting to kick a shot on goal. Though Lovren grabbed Fred by the shirt and held him back, there was a bit of an acting job by Fred.

The yellow card gave Brazil a penalty kick, and Neymar booted it in to give Brazil a 2-1 lead. The Croatians were fuming after the call, as you could imagine.
