Endrick helped Brazil win a thrilling match against Croatia.

Endrick came on as a substitute and made a difference.

Brazil entered the friendly match against Croatia needing a win to shake off the disappointment of their 1-2 defeat against France. In contrast, Croatia were in high spirits after their recent 2-1 victory over Colombia.

From the opening minutes, both teams played cautiously but there were no shortage of fierce challenges. Croatia was more proactive in attacking situations, especially on the left flank, causing the Brazilian defense to falter at times. However, their solidity helped the South American representatives hold firm.

Brazil gradually regained control of the game with short passes and individual breakthroughs. Joao Pedro and Matheus Cunha repeatedly tried their luck, but were thwarted by the excellent goalkeeping of Dominik Livakovic. The Croatian custodian made at least two impressive saves, denying Brazil clear scoring opportunities.

After many attempts, the turning point came in injury time of the first half. From a combination on the left wing, Vinicius Junior provided a perfect assist for midfielder Danilo to finish accurately, opening the scoring for Brazil.

Brazil secured a thrilling victory against Croatia.

In the second half, the pace of the game slowed down considerably as both teams played defensively. Coach Carlo Ancelotti made personnel changes to experiment with different formations, while Croatia also constantly changed tactics to try and create breakthroughs. However, clear-cut scoring opportunities were scarce.

It wasn't until the final minutes that the game truly exploded. In the 84th minute, Lovro Majer sprinted at full speed, receiving a precise cross from Marco Fruk before unleashing a neat finish to bring Croatia back to a tie.

But Brazil almost immediately regained the lead. In the 85th minute, substitute Endrick made a clever and quick move, earning Brazil a penalty. From the penalty spot, Igor Thiago made no mistake, putting Brazil 2-1 up.

In the 90+2 minute, it was Gabriel Martinelli's turn to shine. From a quick counter-attack, Endrick once again excelled with a perfectly placed through pass, setting up the Arsenal striker to score the final goal against Croatia. Winning 3-1, Brazil regained their spirits and showed positive signs ahead of the bigger challenges.

Neymar deceives the goalkeeper from the penalty spot. On the morning of March 19th, Neymar scored for Santos in their 1-2 defeat against Internacional in the 7th round of the Brazilian National Championship.
