Brazil v Croatia head-to-head

Brazil have beaten Croatia on three of the four occasions they have met previously.

After a draw in their opening encounter, an international friendly, back in 2005, they claimed victories at the World Cup in both 2006 (1-0) and 2014 (3-1).

The last time the two sides met was in 2018 when Brazil won 2-0 in an international friendly.

Neymar quotes

He was injured in Brazil’s opening victory over Serbia and didn’t feature in the last two group games.

But he started against South Korea and netted the fourth goal in a 4-1 win to move within a goal of Pele’s scoring record for Brazil.

“I was thinking of a million different things,” said Neymar after the match.

“I was afraid of not being able to play in this World Cup again, but I had all the support of my friends and family and I tried to find strength where I could not find it.

“I did not feel any pain in my ankle. I think my performance went very well and I’m very content, but that said, I think we can always improve and that’s what I will try to do.”
