Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic admitted he was taken by surprise by how well Portugal played as his side was held to a 1-1 draw on Thursday.

Ivan Perisic gave the visitors a first-half lead in the friendly in Faro before former Real Madrid defender Pepe equalised for Portugal, who was missing captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Dalic was pleased by how his team fared against Portugal in what was their first game since the World Cup final.
