Pasalic pounces to give Croatia advantage over Denmark
COPENHAGEN – Mario Pasalic scored an opportunistic second-half goal for Croatia in their Nations League Group A1 match against Denmark on Friday,
as playmaker Luka Modric came off the bench to turn the game around for the visitors.
Andreas Cornelius of Denmark had the finest chance of the first half,
but his goal was disallowed just before halftime as fullback Joakim Maehle was adjudged to have committed a foul in the build-up.
Watch the winning goal of Croatia now!!
Modric came in at halftime and took the corner that was moved into the box for Pasalic to score the game’s sole goal,
slotting the ball between the legs of keeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Denmark, who had a goal by Jonas Wind called out for offside in the 87th minute,
still leads the group with six points from three games and will host Austria on Monday, while Croatia, who are third, will travel to Paris to face bottom-placed France.
