A bright pearl on the map of Europe, Croatia, with a population of only 4.19 million, has repeatedly written brilliant chapters in the field of soccer in recent years. In particular, in 2018, the team made its first foray into the
World Cup
The final, despite the final defeat to France, went down in history as runners-up. Now, three years have passed and Croatia is once again making its debut in the
League of Europe
The stage for the final was set for a new chapter in history.
Let's look back at this great matchup--
Only in the fifth minute of the match, Croatia's soccer maestro Modric gave his team a fantastic 1-0 lead with a clever push from inside the box.
However, the match came to a standstill in the 8th minute when Austria's Sabitzer's precise cross from the left was met by Baumgartner's leaping header to make it 1-1.
In the 68th minute, Croatia's Perisic once again sent a fine pass from the left, and teammate Livaja grabbed a header to help Croatia go back up 2-1.
With the 71st minute approaching, Majerle crossed a diagonal pass from the left and Croatia's Lovren leaped up to head home to make it 3-1 and ultimately help his team win.
