Croatia Beat Netherlands To Qualify For Nations League FINAL
Croatia are one win from their first major title after beating hosts the Netherlands in a dramatic Uefa Nations League semi-final.
Substitute Bruno Petkovic struck from distance in extra time before Luka Modric’s penalty settled a remarkable game in Rotterdam.
A 96th-minute Dutch equaliser from Noa Lang had denied Croatia in normal time.
But Zlatko Dalic’s side will now play Italy or Spain in Sunday’s final, while the Dutch face a third-place play-off.
“It’s a victory for the Croatian people, we beat the Netherlands in front of their fans, Croatia has one more medal,” Dalic told Croatia’s Nova TV afterwards.
“It’s impossible, unreal, but she deserves it. Surely this is a victory which will go down in history.”
