Brazil 0-0 Croatia 7'

Very slow start to the game between the two teams. No doubt there's quality on either side but Croatia and Brazil are opting for sideways passing early on.

Brazil 0-0 Croatia 13'

Duje Caleta-Car has a right footed shot from outside the box but misses to the right of the goal.

Brazil 0-0 Croatia 19'

Perisic charges down the left flank and whips an immediate cross into the area. He’s hunting for a Croatian shirt, but Marquinhos is perfectly positioned to thump the header clear and extinguish the danger.

Brazil get themselves a goal right before the end of the first-half through midfielder Danilo, who finished off a chance given to him by Vini Jr from the left flank.

Modric picks out Kramaric on the right flank as Croatia pushes into the final third. After cutting toward the edge of the area, Kramaric tries his luck with a curling effort, but it lacks the power to trouble Beto, who gathers the ball comfortably. 2nd half underway.

Time is running out for Croatia and they are in danger of losing their concluding friendly match but good news for Carlo Ancelotti and Brazil.

Brazil’s attempt to sit on a slender lead backfired spectacularly when Lovro Majer pulled Croatia level. Exploiting a lapse in the Brazilian backline, Toni Fruk threaded an inch-perfect through ball from the right flank to find Majer’s surging run. Despite being sandwiched by two defenders, the midfielder muscled his way into the area and coolly slotted it past Beto to make it 1-1.

However, the deadlock didn't last long. Brazil responded instantly, earning a crucial penalty that Igor Thiago stepped up to take. With ice in his veins, Thiago sent the keeper the wrong way, burying a precise strike into the bottom-left corner to restore Brazil’s 2-1 lead and ignite the stadium once more!

Gabriel Martinelli has surely put this game to an end, latching onto a sublime through ball from Endrick. Racing down the left, Martinelli drove into the penalty area and clinicaly slotted his finish beneath Livakovic, finding the far corner to double the cushion and seal the victory.

Brazil secured a clinical 3-1 victory over Croatia in Orlando. After Danilo’s first-half opener, Lovro Majer equalized late to spark drama. However, an Igor Thiago penalty and a stoppage-time strike from Gabriel Martinelli, assisted by rising star Endrick, ensured a dominant finish for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
