Brazil drew 1-1 with a tough Croatia team in Split on Wednesday night.
The break through was made in the 32nd minute croatian stiker Ivica Olic hit the post and Niko Kranjcar fired home the rebound.
Brazil equalised 10 minutes later when Santos’s Ricardinho struck a beautiful free kick into the top right-hand corner of the goal.
Brazil controlled the most of the game, but were unable to penetrate the Croatia goal again, despite Adrinano going close on a number of occasions.
Parreria played without Ronaldinho and Roque Junior, who are suspended for the WC qualifier with Chile on September 4.
“It was evident that my players are not yet in their best condition. They are still lacking regular competitive rhythm. Taking all that into consideration, I think that a draw was a fair outcome,” Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira told the press conference after the game.
