In european football history. Speechless, again, that we were able to score, to come back, to show this character and not to lose the game. The boys, they kept having the confidence that we were in the right way, especially after you can have a few doubts, you can try to change the way you are playing but we kept doing the right thing and it was important but it was totally deserved. And at the end, again, we scored an equaliser. Leverkusen will play atalanta in the final in dublin later this month. Its the italian clubs first in europe.

and it was heartbreak for the other asian team left in the tournament as japan lost in a dramatic penalty shoot out to croatia. let s get the latest from nesta mcgregor in doha. well, as you can see, following the full time whistle, fans are streaming out of the stadium. naturally, the brazilian fans are a lot happier than their south korean fans after a convincing 4 1 victory. all goals from brazil coming in this first half, south korea bravely battled and if there is a consolation, they won the second half 1 0. it does mean there are no more countries from the asian continent left in the tournament. that is because earlier japan lost their last 16 match against croatia. it was 1 1 after extra time, the first penalty shoot out of this tournament and japan lost it 3 1. it is worth saying, the japanese team and the fans have been a credit to the world cup, they will be missed. we can remember those images of the japanese fans cleaning the stadium after matches and the team left the dres
