Croatia wins against Scotland, draw between Bulgaria and Northern Ireland

Croatia, led by the indefatigable Luka Modrić, hosted Scotland this Saturday at the Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb) as part of the 3rd day of the Nations League. In this rather balanced encounter, Ryan Christie grabbed the ball, after Luka Sucic’s huge recovery error, and forced Duje Caleta-Car to score against his side (33rd). A short-lived advantage for Scotland, since it only took three minutes for Croatia to equalize, thanks to Igor Matanovic (36th), served by Ivan Perišić. In the second half, the Croats finally took the lead thanks to a header from Andrej Kramaric (70th). Che Adams thought he would give Scotland the draw point in the final moments of the match (90th+6), but his goal was canceled by the VAR after an offside position.
