Friday 21-03-2025
Croatia secured a precious victory over its rival France with a score of 2-0 in the match held as part of the first leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League.

The first goal came from a header by Ante Budimir after a precise cross from Ivan Perisic in the 26th minute, while Perisic scored the second goal in the 45th minute + 1 with a stunning shot that found the net.

On the other hand, the French players attempted to threaten Croatia's goal on several occasions but were unlucky in finding the net.

The two teams will meet again at the Stade de France in the suburb of Saint-Denis in the French capital Paris on March 23.

With this victory, Croatia puts one foot in the semi-finals, but the final decision will be postponed until the return match, as the French team seeks to compensate for its loss and fight for a ticket to qualify.
