Christian Kreskas's first goal in this league and Michael Piccolo's rebounded shot after his penalty effort was saved proved too much for Croatia to overhaul, despite a second-half tap in from Jason Ugrinic which halved the deficit.
It was Croatia's second-straight defeat on their home pitch.
Meanwhile, Brisbane coach Warren Moon says the Roar are excited to see what they can do when they take on A-League leaders Melbourne City on Sunday.
On a high after Riku Danzaki's 94th-minute winner over Western United on Wednesday lifted them into the top six, the Roar face a City team similarly on a roll.
City are six points clear with a game in hand and increasingly looking like the team to beat this season.

Brisbane have historically struggled at AAMI Park, winning just four of 26 matches at the ground.
"We know we're playing a fantastic team that's got great ability, great strengths all over the park,' Moon said. "We respect that but we're certainly going to go in there with the intention to try and win the game."
Roar captain Tom Aldred will miss his fourth match through injury.
