World Cup Qualifiers Shake-Up: How Croatia and Czechia’s Final Showdowns Redefined Group L Destiny
Croatia had to come from behind to salvage a 3-2 win over Montenegro in order to cap an unbeaten World Cup qualifying campaign.
Zlatko Dalic’s side had already confirmed their place at next year’s World Cup with a 3-1 win over the Faroe Islands on Friday, but they were stunned early on at Stadion Pod Goricom.
Milutin Osmajic stunned Croatia in the third minute with a close-range finish after Duje Caleta-Car’s mistake, before Nikola Krstovic doubled their lead 17 minutes in.
However, Ivan Perisic pulled a goal back from the penalty spot 20 minutes later, but they did not get their second until the 72nd minute, with Kristijan Jakic restoring parity.
