During it, he was spotted asking the midfielder: "You don't have a Brazilian grandfather, do you?" This was a clear reference to the enormous qualities of the Croatian phenomenon, who at 41 would still be useful in any midfield, even that of Brazil."
"Danilo opened the scoring just before half-time, and Lovro Majer equalised in the 84th minute. However, Brazil snatched victory late on with an Igor Thiago penalty and a goal from Gabriel Martinelli."
