Int. Friendly Games
SEO Match Summary
Brazil secured a convincing 3–1 victory over Croatia in an International Friendly on 1 April, demonstrating superior attacking efficiency despite a relatively balanced shot count. The visitors' 4–3–3 formation proved more effective than Croatia's defensive 5–4–1 setup, with Brazil generating significantly higher quality chances: an expected goals tally of 1.79 compared to Croatia's 0.59. Brazil's attacking threat was evident in their seven shots on target from thirteen attempts, while Croatia managed only three on target from twelve shots. Brazil's goalkeeper maintained a 57.14 per cent save percentage, though conceded 3.0 post-shot expected goals, suggesting some wayward finishing from the hosts. Danilo Cataldi and Igor Thiago each scored for Brazil, with Lovro Majer netting Croatia's sole goal. The result underscores Brazil's attacking potency in preparation for upcoming competitive fixtures.

Goalkeeper Performance

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
